Driemanschap

Driemanschap
Gijsbert Karel van Hogendorp, Frans Adam van der Duyn van Maasdam and Leopold of Limburg Stirum on the monument at Plein 1813 (1813 Square) in The Hague

The Driemanschap (Triumvirate) of 1813 was formed after Charles-François Lebrun and the French troops suddenly left the area of the Netherlands. It consisted of Frans Adam van der Duyn van Maasdam, Leopold of Limburg Stirum and Gijsbert Karel van Hogendorp. The three statesmen invited the almost forgotten Prince William VI of Orange, the later King William I, to The Hague to prevent anarchy or a possible annexation of the Netherlands by Prussia or England.
