@@slavopol Yep. Back then, the Spanish had control over the lower countries and only allowed catholics, and people were not allowed to read the Bible. William of Orange did not agree with the Spanish king, and decided to call for Dutch indepence. The reason why he says that he always honoured the King of Spain is because the people believed that the king had been annointed by God himself to rule over the territories, so going against the King of Spain, would mean to go against God. William wanted to make clear he had always been loyal to God, but that the Spanish king's way of handling his people was too extreme.
Strange that on the standard was written "Queen and Fatherland" whilst it was clearly a King that they were saluting. There was probably no money for a new one.
