    Murder of Johan and Cornelis de Witt

    During the political and military crisis of the Rampjaar, Orangist opponents regained power and an Orangist crowd murdered the brothers Johan and Cornelis de Witt in The Hague. The killings ended the family’s leading national political role and remain a major subject in the history of the Dutch Republic.
