Did those HS students wonder when their national anthem changed to a song about William of Nassau?
Yes, I saw the thread about the state tournament a few months back... |
As you know "Willem" (Just as in Willem-Alexander, our crown-prince and IOC-member) was our first king.
Nassau is located in Germany.
"Wilhelmus van Nassau, ben ik van Duitsen-bloed. Den koninktijk getrouwe blijf ik tot in den dood"
The first words of our anthem: William was not only a dutch royal, he was also from Germany. Loyal to our kingdom!
