★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Dutch statesman and a major political figure. De Witt controlled the Dutch political system from around 1650 until shortly before his murder in 1672. He and his brother Cornelis de Witt were lynched in The Hague.

★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Johan was a free market, libertarian who believed in small government and more power to local authorities and helping the merchant guilds.
Unfortunately, Johan mismanaged a war and was disliked by the royal named Willem van Oranje. This led to the accusation of an attempted murder of the Willem that led to Johan's imprisonment in The Hague in the 'Gevangenpoort' and eventual death at buitenhof. Most famously know for its people cannibalising Johan's liver out of spite.
This led to the Mother begging for Cornelis de Witt his life but he was assassinated by a lynch mob.
This gave rise to the first king of Orange and turned the Dutch Republic into a Monarchy.
