William the Silent, was See also:born at See also:Delft about six months before his See also:father's assassination on the 29th of See also:January 1584. His See also:mother, See also:Louise de See also:Coligny, was daughter of the famous Huguenot See also:leader, See also:Admiral de Coligny, and was the See also:fourth wife of William the Silent. The boy was trained to arms by his See also:elder See also:brother, See also:Maurice of See also:Nassau, one of the first generals of his See also:age. On the See also:death of Maurice in 1625, Frederick Henry succeeded him in his paternal dignities and estates, and also in the stadtholderates of the five provinces of See also:- HOLLAND

Holland, See also:Zeeland, See also:Utrecht, See also:Overysel and See also:Gelderland, and in the important posts of See also:captain and admiral-See also:general of the See also:Union. Frederick Henry proved himself scarcely inferior to his brother as a general, and a far more capable statesman and politician. During twenty-two years he remained at the See also:head of affairs in the See also:United Provinces, and in his See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O. Eng. getidan, to happen, " even-tide," &c.; it is not directly related to Lat. tempus)

time the See also:power of the stadtholderate reached its highest point. The " See also:Period of Frederick Henry," as it is usually styled by Dutch writers, is generally accounted the See also:golden age of the See also:republic. It was marked by See also:great military and See also:naval triumphs, by See also:world-wide maritime and commercial expansion, and by a wonderful outburst of activity in the domains of See also:art and literature. The See also:chief military exploits of Frederick Henry were the sieges and captures of Hertogenbosch in 1629, of See also:Maastricht in 1632, of See also:Breda in 1637, of Sas See also:van See also:Ghent in 1644, and of Hulst in 1645. During the greater See also:part of his See also:administration the See also:alliance with See also:France against See also:Spain had been the See also:pivot of Frederick Henry's See also:foreign policy, but in his last years he sacrificed the See also:French alliance for the See also:sake of concluding a See also:separate See also:peace with Spain, by which the United Provinces obtained from that power all the advantages for which they had for eighty years been contending. Frederick Henry died on the 14th of See also:March 1647, and was buried with great pomp beside his father and brother at Delft. The treaty of See also:Munster, ending the See also:long struggle between the Dutch and the Spaniards, was not actually signed until the 3oth of January 1648, the illness and death of the See also:stadtholder having caused a delay in the negotiations. Frederick Henry was married in 1625 to Amalia von Solms, and See also:left one son, William II. of Orange, and four daughters.
Frederick Henry left an See also:account of his See also:campaigns in his Memoires de See also:Frederic See also:Henri (See also:Amsterdam, 1743). See See also:Cambridge Mod. His:. vol. iv. See also:chap. 24, and the bibliography on p. 931.

See also:George proposed to allow the prince £5o,000 a See also:year; but this sum was regarded as insufficient by the latter, whose See also:appeal to See also:parliament was unsuccessful.
