Louis XIV vs William of Orange?
The rivalry between Louis XIV and William III of Orange began in 1672 when Louis and Charles II of England attacked the Dutch Republic. Louis and Charles thought their young kinsman would be grateful since the war brought down the political enemies of the young Prince of Orange and they offered to make him king of what was left of the Republic. Orange proved to be a patriot and when told his country was lost, said there was one way he would never see it lost and that was to die in the last ditch. Orange became the enemy of Louis' expansionist policies and when he ousted his uncle/father-in-law James II and became William III of England he was the leader of the allied forces opposing Louis and brought England into the war. After William's death in 1702, his successor, Anne, still followed his anti-French policies.
