Notes about Willem (de Zwijger) van Oranje

Vader des Vaderland.
Hendrik III (1483-1538), oom van Willem van Oranje, was getrouwd met Claudia van Chalon-Oranje, dochter van de Prins van Oranje (streek Orange bij Avignon - Frankrijk). Hun enige zoon Rene erfde in 1530 van zijn kinderloos gestorven oom Philbert het vorstendom Oranje. Rene was de eerste Nassau die zich Prins van Oranje mocht noemen. Hij was dus Prins van Oranje en Graaf van Nassau.
Rene was miltair en sneuvelde kinderloos in 1544. Rene had in zijn testament bepaald dat zijn oom Willem de Rijke (1487-1559) de omvangrijke erfenis aan zijn oudste zoon moest overdragen. Hierdoor mocht Willem de Zwijger zich Prins van Oranje noemen.
