680. The Netherlands: The Revolt that Made The Modern World (Part 4)
About this episode
The episode discusses the Dutch national anthem's origins and its connection to the Dutch Revolt and modernity.
How is the Dutch national anthem, that has its origins during a 1568 siege of a French city, connected to the Dutch Revolt? What is the revolt’s role in the birth of modernity? And, why does it say ‘to the King of Spain I’ve granted a lifelong loyalty’? Join Tom and Dominic as they discuss the national anthem with the deepest history, the Wilhelmus.
