  • Many people dislike their leaders, few will ever go so far as to literally eat them. So why did the Dutch do this? Why did the Dutch eat their Prime Minister in the seventeenth century? It was because his leadership was lacking and he was deeply disliked. Which seems reasonable.

    • @eliannafreely5725
      @eliannafreely5725 Год назад +82

      Yeah, the only way this makes sense given the time period and culture being discussed (not one in which cannibalism has a routine place) is that they went into some Dionysian frenzy - the mob lynched them because they hated them, there was no one to put the brakes on and the lynching turned into actually tearing them apart. At that point they would have been drenched in their blood and, having already turned these people into offal, they became feral.

      @@eliannafreely5725 yeah except that it was described as “a fairly organized display of cannibalism” with the mob cutting out the livers specifically and cooking them. This implies that the cannibalism might have been more premeditated than a spontaneous frenzy. As to why exactly they did it, that knowledge probably died with them but “because they hated him” is a very plausible explanation. A foreign army was marauding in the country side. It must have felt like the end of the world for them and, in their eyes, it was all HIS fault. So yeah it wasn’t just normal hatred for a politician. It was raw, seething, hysterical rage.

    Fun fact: After being lynched, some parts were sold off as a souvenir. A tongue as well as a thumb of one of the brothers (don't know which one) is still on display in the Dutch Historical Museum in The Hague.
    There's also the theory they were setup by William of Orange. The cavalry that was protecting the prison where the brothers were held (I believe one of them was a visitor??? if my memory serves me right) was sent home so the people could have a go at them.

    As a Dutchie, I dare say, that these things are fairly likely to happen again. Because, the English, French and several German smaller states like Münster aren't trying wipe us of the map and out of existence. We won the land war at the time by beating them at sea with a legendary commander called Michiel de Ruyter (translates Michel the Robber) who was the bane of the English King and all his men their existence. He stole his prize battleship, killed most Royal at their station, burned the rest of the fleet and haunted their nightmares afterward. He basically build the first Marine corpse and deployed them to do a night time raid on the English main base where the Swan river connects to the North Sea. They sailed up the river after taking out the watchposts mainly with knives and swords, then broke the chain blocking the entrance to the harbour where all the ships were docked and killed the guards burned the ships and took the most prized ship as a prize back to Rotterdam in towe. He was rightfully lauded as a hero. A few years later in the Rampjaar (Disaster year) he beat the combined French and English Navies by outmanouvering them and have them run aground in an area infront of the southwestern coast of his home province of Zeeland and when they grounded and defenseless he shot them to smittereens until they surrendered. The land army used the classical Dutch strategy of retreat to the lower lying areas and flood them by opening up the Dikes when your enemy follows, drowning them and or making it impossible for them to use artillery, horses and even difficult to use infantry. After which you bring in small warships with canons and use strong fortresses to bombard your miserable, cold, water logged and probably sick enemy into the soil and after that, you sweep them of your land. The combination of the two and subsequent conquering of pieces of West-Germany, the Limburg region and parts of Flanders (the Western parts), was a reason for the French to not try for a long time again and the English to wait for a while too. It launched us into our Golden Age in which we dominated the high seas and kicked everyone's butts, the French, the English, the Spanish, the Portugese (we stole 90% of their colonies including Northern third of Brazil), ports along the African west coast and stole so much silver from the Spanish at a a battle from their silver fleet coming back from South-America we flooded the market and nearly crashed it's worth for a year. The eating was part starvation because of raids and pillaging by the French on the Dutch countryside prohibitting harvests, blockades at sea by the English and French and west German states like Münster attacking us, there was general panic (makes people act very cucoo) and government failing all around them. The people lashed out and ate very specific parts of the PM and his younger brother after the Orangists threw them to the wolves (quite literally). Weird desperate times, weird desperate measures I guess.

      I once read about a guy who was so curious about the taste of human meat that he cut off his own toe, fried and ate it. He said it tasted like a mix of chicken and pork... What you were eating was probably just your skin, and since those are dead skin cells I indeed don't expect that to taste well.

    The citizens of a Dutch town called 'Leiden' almost ate their mayor when the town was besieged during the Eighty Years War. The town was besieged for an entire year and about 6.000 people died due to starvation and disease, some sources say up to 18.000 perished. To make a long story short: Von der Werf offered his own body to be consumed by the townspeople, which they refused. About 300 years later the town contructed a statue in Van der Werfs honour, although they didn't have money for a new one. So they bought a second hand statue from a random German city, and replaced the head. So that's why the head of Van der Werf is out of proportion compared to the rest of the statue's body. One of my favorate stories of the era.

You got invaded by France in 1672 with two german municipalities (Cologne and Münster) as minor allies from 1672 to 1673... while mostly fighting England at sea. The naval war was a success (as England got rekt again and left the war in 1674). But on land, you were getting steamrolled by France, prompting other european powers to join your side in 1673 to contain french expansionism.
      From 1673 to the end of the war in 1678, "Germany" (Austria and the entire HRE basically... France's two former allies included), Spain, Denmark and Brandenburg fought on the dutch side against France (and its ally Sweden who joined the war in 1675). Not that bad eh..... You can't call that french bullying lol.

    One HUGE mistake made in this video is that most of the Netherlands (Republic of the 7 united provinces) was still water around the 17th century. Only a couple of polders were made to reclaim some land from lakes inside of holland, but the entire landmass in the Zuiderzee nowadays called Flevoland (consisting of both the Flevopolder and the Noordoostpolder) was not reclaimed from the sea until 1968. The same holds for the Maasvlakte near the city of Rotterdam.
    Besides this, around 1650 huge parts of nowadays Noord Brabant and Limburg were also not part of the united 7 provinces (Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Gelre, Overijssel, Friesland, Groningen, Drenthe), but were still part of so called the Spanish Netherlands. The exception were the cities of Maastricht and Breda, in their own provinces granted to the republic in 1648 by the peace of Münster.
    For an accurate map and more information, look for the wikipedia page on 'the Dutch Republic'
