78. In a furious note to his ambassador in Berlin, the French king accused Frederick William of preventing by force his subjects ‘of the supposed reformed religion’ from returning to France in recognition of their ‘guilt’ and warned that unless he desisted from this outrage ‘I [Louis XIV] will be forced to make decisions that he will not like’ (Waddington, Prusse, vol. 1, p. 561).

79. The Principality of Orange had belonged to William III of Orange, Dutch Stadtholder from 1672 and King of Great Britain from 1689. William III, himself an only child, died childless in 1702. The strongest claimant to the title was thus Frederick I, whose mother, Louise Henrietta of Orange, had been the eldest daughter of William’s grandfather, Frederick Henry, Dutch Stadtholder from 1625 to 1647, though here, as in so many such cases, there were disputes about the status of the female line of succession. Louis XIV had annexed the territory in 1682, but the struggle over the inheritance was not resolved until the Peace of Utrecht in 1713.
