It's our anthem since May 10th 1932, although the melody is composed in 1568. Therefor it's the oldest anthem in the world.
It's about the founder and first king of the Netherlands: Willem of Orange and his struggle to swear loyalty to the king of Spain and on the other hand his loyalty towards his Dutch nation.

What does the dutch anthem Het Wilhelmus talk about?
The Wilhelmus is the national anthem of the Netherlands and comprises of 15 verses. However only the first and sixth are sung at formal occasions and only the first verse in sports. It is the oldest national anthem in the world.The song is about the father of the nation: Stadhouder (some sort ov gouvernor) William of Orange-Nassau (hence the national colour) aka William the Silent, who led his (personally paid) troops to drive the Spanish out of the Netherlands during the 80 years war. His main reason for doing so was to end the catholic opression on protestant Holland and to install some sort of freedom of religion.The first verse tells us who William is:Wilhelmus of Orange (his name)Am I of German blood (his descent, being the count of Nassau)I'll be true to the fatherland until death (he eventually was murdered in Delft, after the church put a price on his head)As prince of orange am I free and without fearI have always honoured the king of Spain (at first he tried to convince the king of Spain to grant the Dutch more personal freedom, however Phillip II of Spain was more inclined to the inquisition)
