| Comment | In my experience Dutchies know nothing about it. They're completely perplexed anytime I've spoken to them about it.
Also the King William they idolise (might be a strong word) is another one, the great grandfather of the King Billy of fame here. The one who liberated the Netherlands from Spain.

He's probably the one you saw in Madame Tussaud's.
If he's celebrated its through the lens of liberation from the ruling Spanish empire, not necessarily through any lingering protestant-catholic hostility. |
