just think havin all thos commands 2 fire 1 shot and 2 add 2 it havin bullets wizing half an inch from ur head and cannon balls shootin over ur heads and the guy left and right of u dying
So a soldier puts gunpowder in a small slot for it, then dumps the rest down the barrel and the container with it, and pushes it down with a metal stick, and is ready to fire.
I guess the part about adding in a pellet would come after putting the gunpowder and the container down the barrel, and then stuffing both down the barrel.
Euh, een musket is toch zo'n ding wat met kruyt een pannetje en een vuursteentje ofzo!? Ik weet wel dat er fijn kruyt in moet en geen "zwart grind" wat voor de kanonne is bedoeld. Daarom gaan ze niet tegelijkertijd af!
forgive my ignorance but is the Dutch belgian drill demonstrated in this video the same as the french 12 stage loading ( obviously with different commands) BTW very nicely put together video and a very well drilled and turned out unit
Yes it´s probably is the same, since most officers came from the impirial French army as well as a large proportion of the men. So they already knew those orders and drills. Thanks for you compliments.
i can fire four shots in 56 seconds thats faster than most guys in the battle could fire after you load and fire your first shot start with the powder first and then ball and wadding when you go for your powder get it all at one so your not double dippin that will save you time
The real way to do it is to do exactly what they did, only not throw the paper in yet, then put the bullet in the barrel, then put the paper in and use the rod to push it tight.
They just took firepowder and the paper at once without bullet cause they were gonna blank fire it. However that does not show ho to properly do it.
Dudes don't give him thumbs down for his comment. Instead explain it to him. It's not as easy to know for everyone, cause the language i pretty simular, and it depends where you live yourself.
As for your question wck0652006, dutch means Holland or Netherlands, whatever you call it. Amsterdam is the capital city in that country.
NO no, we aren NOT Prussian, we are from the (south) Netherlands. Witch is nowadays called Belgium. So you can call us a Dutch (speaking) unit. Still, thanks for your comments.
dude hell yea it is!!!! the good thing about it is that theres a type of reenacting for almost every war. the most popular forms in the u.s. are rev war (revolutionary war) and civil war, europe mainly napoleonic and seven years war
Ohh, i though it was french because of the blueish uniforms(im color blind so its hard to tell). Any way this is great. Anyone here do civil war reenacting like me?
Dreams and frustrations could be a terrible combination. Nevertheless here are some famously translated french insults to this disrespectful comment : I fart in your general direction you empty headed animal, your father smelt of elderberries and your mother was hamster, I wave my private parts at your aunties, and so on. Best regards. La Grenouille.
And now u must stop replying with your lies of england.its all Propaganda. William the 2th was a good man, and a good leader too. i hate it when people lie about it. I feel the same as the russians do now, about those lies about stalin.
and what makes you think your version of events is any more bias-inflicted? A good leader in later life perhaps - but a reckless idiot at waterloo. Please, tell me - what lies are told of stalin?
William II never went to England. William II is a full Hollander like me. BTW the only reckless idiot is YOU. Because u cant exept it that your version is full of propaganda and lies. And u are acting like he was the King of England. Because u said: blah blah blah - but a reckless idiot at waterloo. He never went there damnit. Now stop replying because ur version of history is full of lies. liar.
and your version is full of propaganda and denial. I weary of this contradiction, it's as tedious as it is flawed and in the end I suppose all that's left is for us to agree to disagree. Good day.
Ye right, Go lie again. I have read all of the messages again and there was nothing about the catholics. u just said he killed people.
So if u keep lying. Go screw yourself and stop messaging. They all contain lies, Propaganda and all that other shit because u cant have it to be wrong.
all what you have done havent made u right . im beginning to hate the British also. They are Arrogant, crapped, and they drink only but coffee. And if william II was kiling catholics, what about Holland then eh?
As i said his murderous mark is still left on ireland in form of the orange lodge. We don't have to prove his barbarity to anyone, let alone someone so obviously too arrogant and nationalistic to accept it.
OW btw. as u know. theres always a war in Northern ireland. Catholics against Protestands. William II of orange has nothing to do with it. he wasnt even running englands goverment. He was running the Netherlands like every other Royal Familly Member.
Englands Goverment had taken over Nothern Ireland.
The war in northern ireland ground to a halt when the IRA gave up their arms, moron. There is still animosity - but the 'war' as was, is fundamentally over. Prat. Ah, so we acknowledge that william II was of 'orange' now, we've finally made some headway into that dense skull of yours. Nothing to do with it? Your royal family had everything to do with it. Whilst it's true that, it was the 3rd of the line that formed the orange lodge, your history is not so clean as you would pretend.
Our history is clean. And is still being made. Like how a Dutch Patriotic Teen is making fun of a british Propaganda spreader. Yup, thats you. and DUUUUUH we all know the subname from William II. The intire royal familly has it.BTW I doubt if your thought up facts about WIlliam II are true. he ruled holland like any other king of the netherlands. Now for the last damn time. WILLIAM II HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT
King William the second, prince of Orange and nassau(19th century) has absolutely nothing to do with the Irisch conflict you stupid....that is "Stadhouder" prince William the third (17th century)....
it is rather incredibe how worked up you can get over something so insignificant as a youtube forum, quite pathetic. Now i suggest you read your own messages. You are as reluctant to change your views as I am, and your words are no less offensive, or ignorant.You are as arrogant as I am, my weak minded matey.
Second, Once again a lie. I have read al messages from the past. And u had said nothing about the Catholics before the 9th message now. Wich makes it a proven lie of you. And the only one who is weak minded is you. Go screw yourself. And stop replying to prove your point to be right. Because it still hasnt worked at all. Ur not even progressing. Proves that you are lying is in the past messages. There is no escape for you and your lies.
niether are you you stupid little man. Seemingly incapable of forming anything constructive, you have been content to dispell everything as 'lies' despite the fact that it clearly isn't. Try, if you can, i know it must be hard for one of your limited intellect, but at least try to open your mind, or at least your eyes, to the fact that you don't have an immaculate history, no matter how much your own propaganda has bullshitted you to the contrary.
How dare u even to speak such things against a Dutch Patriot. And against the Dutch Goverment. Though im 14, my intellect is growing, im not drinking. and about the "lies" thing, You only say but lies.
maybe thats the fact kid. I watched to my toe for a minute and its much more interresting then your childish squabling. Think twice before taking up a Patriotic Dutchman
It's quite easy to speak against these dutch nationalist - history speaks for me.
And now we reach the tedious point in the argument where, deprived of anything witty, construstive, relevant or even interesting to say, you turn to weak personnal attacks, and repetative denial. Grow up, wake up and at least try to post something vaguely interesting.
Im thinking im gonna mark you as a spam because all of your propagada messages are less interesting then my pee. BTW if you want something personel. go to the army once ur grown up. i doubt if youll survive training though. every day i do 20 push ups once i get out of the shower.
way ahead of you on the spam front. lol. you're pathetic. That comment alone was proof of your utter immaturity. was that supposed to be pathetic. I do 50 pushups and 50 crunches every morning, and our army training is renowned as the toughest in the world. I wouldn't go though, as i hate fascism - a hatref you seem deprived of.
well, after perhaps the swiss guard and the mossad, but it's all irrelevant. I'm 16, and that painfully irrelevant comment just went to show how you are whipped physically as well as intellectually. But i'm not here to bandy testosterone, nor to defend my heritage from your own. I'm here to enjoy myself, something you and your immaturity is making rather difficult. Savvy?
well no, there is lotsa more from where Dutch dissing out is comming from. speaking of dissing. i bet you are already dissed because u are changing subjects.
something about the belgian and william II, somewhere in 1842 or somethin Belgium turned against Holland, and that was why we failed to resist the French, and William II had to flee to england.the history doesnt say anything about robbing, stealing and plundering Liverpool. U lose, point out.
I didn't say Liverpool i said Ireland, please go away and grow up. You are becoming very tedious very quickly, I didn't come on youtube to rattle sabres or testosterone with an irritatingly prepubescent dutch kid. The fact that you keep coming returning to this argument - wasting my time and the time of others on this page is testimony to your boundless arrogance and immaturity. Now, beat it.
Stop changing the subject u Retard. my mail is full of ur bullcrap, full of ur lies and subject changes. ur getting anoying and i begin to hate english fucktards more then ever. speaking of "beat".
And now you reach the last bastion of the defeated moron - mindless aggression. Do you feel brave little dutchboy, hiding behind your computer offering pathetic threats and weak arguments from hundreds of miles away. You're not a man, you're a coward and I'll waste my time with you no longer. I may be considered annoying, but at least I'm not a feeble, inarticulate, violent cretin.
dude, i took on a 16+ guy before SO i can do again u puny racistic British asshole. Ur becomming a real pain in the ass right now. and i see u change it again eh? im brave enough to kill you and make breakfast of u. and if u are brave enough to take me on. why dont u come to holland to take on a dutch-patriotic minded 14 year old eh? and this is not my last message dude, im just beginning to warm up, puny little coward
WHOOOPS hehe. my sisters account, so dont go commenting on her account. (unless ur a coward who dares to fight girls only hehe) so when does ur next Lie/Subject change or any other bullcrap to help u out of the diss of a 14 year old?
You're brave enough only to sit behind a computer and send threats to strangers. As if you could sink no lower, you cower behind your own sister. Pitiful. It's strange how you continue to spam my account with these dim-witted messages and threats when you're clearly as feeble physically as you are intellectually.
Oh and one more thing, what you call 'subject change' is actually called development in conversation, if you left your computer and socialised abit more you might appreciate that.
just because you can't understand, doesn't mean others can't - and I write big messages because the idiocy you display warrants a big response. You want a shorter reply? then wise up and grow up.
Now I address the most stupid of your comments - calling me a racist. Here's some information about me that you might find illuminating - I'm a member of Amnesty International, CAFOD and a number of charities including the Waterloo partnership and am already heading toward aid work as a profession. I find you - a self-confessed aggressive, militaristic fascist accusing me of racism. Pathetic hypocrisy.
u are member of the retarded unknown group called CAFOD or somethin? dont make me sick. whats such an indenial asshole doing on youtube eh? i never seen old guys doing it behind youtube on their pc. this must be one big lie of u :P BTW i dont care about that u are member of some gayass club
hehe, 'retarded unknown group called CAFOD' - try the largest charity in the northern hemisphere you dolt - why not do some research before you make a total ass of yourself next time. indenial isn't a real word, so i don't know what yoru getting at there, and i am not an old guy, I'm 16 - where did you get that impression?
u act like an old guy, ur throwing away ur youth. and u keep saying i gotta grow up? hell no. i dont need to be grown up to me a nerd like u. And i dont care about that fucking CAFOD(Combine.All.Fuckers.Or.Dolts)
Oh not grow up to an old age - just pull your intelligence above that of the average toddler if you want this argument to continue - which i know you really, rather sadly do.
pff dude, u say ur 16. and ur already acting like an old fuck. ur throwing away your youth, BTW this has nothing to the subject we started about. i dont want to read any more of ur stupid thrown away life.
it sucks and its boring and i dont care about ur groups, your jerking and expecially your lies.
...so...now this is done, lets forget the bullcrap life stuff of urs and go back to the fact that William II was fleed to england and the belgians were fucking it up
You are an idiot, nothing more, nothing less. Strip nationality aside, scrutinize yourself further - you are still a complete and utter idiot. And that you'll ever escape, even filled with denial as you continually are. I suggest -- really, with your own best wishes at heart, that you turn off your ego, breath deeply and turn away from the computer, before you embarrass yourself further.
pfff, whos ego here. dude, u keep comming back with some worthless speech for what i dont understand a word of. perhaps a whole lot of peeps think the same as me.
Yes dispite the the fact that they speak two completely different languages, have completely different cunilary traditions, different military traditions, and the fact That the French are/were predominately Catholic and The Dutch are/were predominately protestant, there is no difference between the French and the Dutch.
wel alisongreenaway, then you are SOOOOOO WRONG!!!
Dutch and French don't look like eachother at all.
Its commmon that britisch guys dont know diffrences between German and Dutch. But French and Dutch? What have you been eating\drinking?! U can hear it loud and clearly it's dutch!!! BTW The frenchies had a gay look-a-like hat with feathers for if u wanna know the diffrence
lol, u english men are pretty becomming dumb. THESE ARE DUTCH SOLDIERS!!! NOT FRENCH, if ya think that then ur stupid.And this has nothing to do with Belgium too. Belgians don't even have a culture. Not even a real own language, its french,dutch(Retarded speaking) and German(less do it these days).
How the hell are people gona understand what those dumbasses are talking about? I'm Dutch and i cant hardly understand those dumb cultureless non-languagefull retards!?
Oh and i know nearly everything about WWI and WWII ha!!! And i am 14. and i bet u are just bluffing around. I am also busy with the Napoleonic war. And i know already more then a half, looks like i need only 10 years instead of 20 more life's. gotcha dissed coffee sack :P
nope, ya'll all are wrong, muskets were more accurate than today machine guns. A musket fires a bullet with a pack of gunpowder, instead, a machine gun fire each bullet with only half a teaspoon of gunpowder. Bows were not as strong as muskets were, bows were faster but not as accurate. Muskets fires through lines of men while bows can only fire through 1 line.
Some comments: First the rate of fire of bowmen is much higher than the rate of firing a musket (a trained fuselier/musketeer can fire 2 to 3 times a minute)If you let 100 trained bowmen fire at 100 musketeers at hundred yards distance the last men standing will be bowmen.....
second comment: We test fired some napoleonic muskets last year on a shooting range and we discovered accuracy of the musket is about 35-40 yards, (french perform better than brittisch muskets, but not much)after that you can actualy see the musketball "woble" from left to right in the air. This is because the velocity of the musketball is very low. And we had time to aim accurate, and this nearly impossible when you are in line and have to reload in haste.
So third comment a modern machine gun is much more effective in using its small portions of powder; , higher bullit velocity, less drag, and thus far more accurate and far more effective weapon.
You are right if you try to tell that you are more likely to survive a shot from a modern gun than from a musketball, 69call makes nasty wounds. (plus if you are wounded today on a battlefield you are quicker in the hands of real docters instead of the napoleonic butchers you had to crawl to in the early 19th century if you were wounded)
at the same time, the soldiers were drilled in loading and reloading a musket so frequently, that it became second nature. A good soldier could load and fire a musket about 3 or 4 times in one minute without any thought.
Even then, you didn't actually have to aim with the napoleonic tactics, the volley deemed aiming all but redundant, for all but skirmishers.
we have tried; firing 4 times a minute is possible for a trained soldier, accurate aiming is as you say impossible. And you must pray that the musket fires every time you pull the trigger. The funny thing we experienced is that the musket works better with a little rain, than in dry weather where one would expect the spark would not ignite the powder when its raining... odd
that is a bit strange... and if the powders ground too fine, it blows your head off! interesting weapons muskets, must be fun playing with them :) have you tried with the baker rifle? that's very accurate.
We have tried french charleville's (ANIX, as in the vid) and British brown besses. We did a shoot-off a few weeks ago between the two rifles, to see if the brown bess can be reloaded and fired quicker than the Charleville as is often claimed. Unfortianately the Bess mallfunctioned probably due to a bad flint or maybe a dirty barrel or both
; but we probably will get a chance to retry that duel in Waterloo next week. I personaly don't think the claim that a brown bess could be loaded and fired 6 times in a minute will hold.
We are stationed at Hougemont Farm (dutch-belgian unit, so in the alied camp) There is a lot of info on the websiteof the french 8th demi brigade has the info if you are interested: Happy to see in the french battle plans that we will win ... suprise!
I'll certainly have to look into that site. Dutch belgian - you'll be under the Prince of Orange then? An appaulingly bad leader if truth be told, but no matter, are you an officer or a ranker in your unit?
I am only a ranker or what's called a fuselier (man who caries a Fusil= french for gun) I won't say that the prince was a very good leader, he was only 23 years old, but he prevented Ney to push to brussels the 16th while the brits were nowere to be found.
He is not as stupid though as portraied in Brittish studies. Wellington misjudged the danger at quatrebras completely, and was lucky H.H. was smart enough to send over a brigade there.
The problem in this the standart work in anglo saxon history. is the report by Siborne, it's based on only brittish reports, and when Siborne ran out of money, the regiments sponsored him, if he would give them a more prominent place in the battles.
so it's full of brittish bias, as is Mercers report, who was late at quatrebras, and had his as saved by a Nassau brigade at waterloo, but he "forgets" to mention that, the same way Siborne forgets to write that the 2nd dutch cavalary div. of Boreel was shot at point blank by Brittish troops, who couldn't distinguish them from the french...
aye fair enough, though he admittedly made a lot of stupid mistakes, glory hunting and so on. I suppose i'm just biased really, living in Liverpool - lots of irish people and he was a right bastard concerning the irish
BTW eh, sirius711. What has William of Orange to do with it. If you speak bad about the Royal Familly then u have got something with me. And i think also other hollanders if you ask me. The Prince of Orange has nothing to do with Napoleon you brick!!!
He was dead in the 80 yeared war. He was leading victory for The Seven Provincies (later known as the full Netherlands) Belgium has nothing to do with WIlliam. So it's real dumb u just wrote this about.
William of orange was a young man at waterloo, a battle he was most definitely in attendance. He was commanding a combination of dutch and belgian troops (many of which defected) and he was a poor military. Must be a case of mistaken identity.
Dude, u know nothing of William of Orange, u haven't read it good like any other british cowfart. The belgians had nothing to do with William of Orange.
And so does it at the napoleonic war. Like i wrote "william died wile the 80 year old war."
He retreated to England, but later he came back to free the seven provincies, what now is called Holland (Netherland) And belgium had nothing to do with holland. LISTEN BETTER NEXT TIME
i adore weaponry, but only few that i admire much being the beauty of war... one example are those musket and arquebus usage!
I always wonder how musket and arque reload, and now i know it! Thanks man!! great video for history!

And now u must stop replying with your lies of england.its all Propaganda. William the 2th was a good man, and a good leader too. i hate it when people lie about it. I feel the same as the russians do now, about those lies about stalin.
Kdssow 4 years ago
and what makes you think your version of events is any more bias-inflicted? A good leader in later life perhaps - but a reckless idiot at waterloo. Please, tell me - what lies are told of stalin?
sirius711 4 years ago
William II never went to England. William II is a full Hollander like me. BTW the only reckless idiot is YOU. Because u cant exept it that your version is full of propaganda and lies. And u are acting like he was the King of England. Because u said: blah blah blah - but a reckless idiot at waterloo. He never went there damnit. Now stop replying because ur version of history is full of lies. liar.

Ye right, Go lie again. I have read all of the messages again and there was nothing about the catholics. u just said he killed people.
So if u keep lying. Go screw yourself and stop messaging. They all contain lies, Propaganda and all that other shit because u cant have it to be wrong.
all what you have done havent made u right . im beginning to hate the British also. They are Arrogant, crapped, and they drink only but coffee. And if william II was kiling catholics, what about Holland then eh?

sirius711 4 years ago
OW btw. as u know. theres always a war in Northern ireland. Catholics against Protestands. William II of orange has nothing to do with it. he wasnt even running englands goverment. He was running the Netherlands like every other Royal Familly Member.
Englands Goverment had taken over Nothern Ireland.
But the irish republic didnt want that
Kdssow 4 years ago
The war in northern ireland ground to a halt when the IRA gave up their arms, moron. There is still animosity - but the 'war' as was, is fundamentally over. Prat. Ah, so we acknowledge that william II was of 'orange' now, we've finally made some headway into that dense skull of yours. Nothing to do with it? Your royal family had everything to do with it. Whilst it's true that, it was the 3rd of the line that formed the orange lodge, your history is not so clean as you would pretend.
sirius711 4 years ago
Our history is clean. And is still being made. Like how a Dutch Patriotic Teen is making fun of a british Propaganda spreader. Yup, thats you. and DUUUUUH we all know the subname from William II. The intire royal familly has it.BTW I doubt if your thought up facts about WIlliam II are true. he ruled holland like any other king of the netherlands. Now for the last damn time. WILLIAM II HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH IT

First of all: Im not your mate (Phew)
Second, Once again a lie. I have read al messages from the past. And u had said nothing about the Catholics before the 9th message now. Wich makes it a proven lie of you. And the only one who is weak minded is you. Go screw yourself. And stop replying to prove your point to be right. Because it still hasnt worked at all. Ur not even progressing.

something about the belgian and william II, somewhere in 1842 or somethin Belgium turned against Holland, and that was why we failed to resist the French, and William II had to flee to england.the history doesnt say anything about robbing, stealing and plundering Liverpool. U lose, point out.

nope, ya'll all are wrong, muskets were more accurate than today machine guns. A musket fires a bullet with a pack of gunpowder, instead, a machine gun fire each bullet with only half a teaspoon of gunpowder. Bows were not as strong as muskets were, bows were faster but not as accurate. Muskets fires through lines of men while bows can only fire through 1 line.
runescapepatriotman 4 years ago
Some comments: First the rate of fire of bowmen is much higher than the rate of firing a musket (a trained fuselier/musketeer can fire 2 to 3 times a minute)If you let 100 trained bowmen fire at 100 musketeers at hundred yards distance the last men standing will be bowmen.....
dansoui 4 years ago
second comment: We test fired some napoleonic muskets last year on a shooting range and we discovered accuracy of the musket is about 35-40 yards, (french perform better than brittisch muskets, but not much)after that you can actualy see the musketball "woble" from left to right in the air. This is because the velocity of the musketball is very low. And we had time to aim accurate, and this nearly impossible when you are in line and have to reload in haste.
dansoui 4 years ago
So third comment a modern machine gun is much more effective in using its small portions of powder; , higher bullit velocity, less drag, and thus far more accurate and far more effective weapon.
dansoui 4 years ago
You are right if you try to tell that you are more likely to survive a shot from a modern gun than from a musketball, 69call makes nasty wounds. (plus if you are wounded today on a battlefield you are quicker in the hands of real docters instead of the napoleonic butchers you had to crawl to in the early 19th century if you were wounded)
dansoui 4 years ago
at the same time, the soldiers were drilled in loading and reloading a musket so frequently, that it became second nature. A good soldier could load and fire a musket about 3 or 4 times in one minute without any thought.
Even then, you didn't actually have to aim with the napoleonic tactics, the volley deemed aiming all but redundant, for all but skirmishers.
sirius711 4 years ago
we have tried; firing 4 times a minute is possible for a trained soldier, accurate aiming is as you say impossible. And you must pray that the musket fires every time you pull the trigger. The funny thing we experienced is that the musket works better with a little rain, than in dry weather where one would expect the spark would not ignite the powder when its raining... odd
dansoui 4 years ago
that is a bit strange... and if the powders ground too fine, it blows your head off! interesting weapons muskets, must be fun playing with them :) have you tried with the baker rifle? that's very accurate.
sirius711 4 years ago
We have tried french charleville's (ANIX, as in the vid) and British brown besses. We did a shoot-off a few weeks ago between the two rifles, to see if the brown bess can be reloaded and fired quicker than the Charleville as is often claimed. Unfortianately the Bess mallfunctioned probably due to a bad flint or maybe a dirty barrel or both
dansoui 4 years ago
; but we probably will get a chance to retry that duel in Waterloo next week. I personaly don't think the claim that a brown bess could be loaded and fired 6 times in a minute will hold.
dansoui 4 years ago
6!? not a chance! Good luck at waterloo by the way, where abouts are you to be stationed?
sirius711 4 years ago
We are stationed at Hougemont Farm (dutch-belgian unit, so in the alied camp) There is a lot of info on the websiteof the french 8th demi brigade has the info if you are interested: Happy to see in the french battle plans that we will win ... suprise!
dansoui 4 years ago
lol! well i never!:p
I'll certainly have to look into that site. Dutch belgian - you'll be under the Prince of Orange then? An appaulingly bad leader if truth be told, but no matter, are you an officer or a ranker in your unit?
sirius711 4 years ago
I am only a ranker or what's called a fuselier (man who caries a Fusil= french for gun) I won't say that the prince was a very good leader, he was only 23 years old, but he prevented Ney to push to brussels the 16th while the brits were nowere to be found.
dansoui 4 years ago
He is not as stupid though as portraied in Brittish studies. Wellington misjudged the danger at quatrebras completely, and was lucky H.H. was smart enough to send over a brigade there.
dansoui 4 years ago
The problem in this the standart work in anglo saxon history. is the report by Siborne, it's based on only brittish reports, and when Siborne ran out of money, the regiments sponsored him, if he would give them a more prominent place in the battles.
dansoui 4 years ago
so it's full of brittish bias, as is Mercers report, who was late at quatrebras, and had his as saved by a Nassau brigade at waterloo, but he "forgets" to mention that, the same way Siborne forgets to write that the 2nd dutch cavalary div. of Boreel was shot at point blank by Brittish troops, who couldn't distinguish them from the french...

sirius711 4 years ago
BTW eh, sirius711. What has William of Orange to do with it. If you speak bad about the Royal Familly then u have got something with me. And i think also other hollanders if you ask me. The Prince of Orange has nothing to do with Napoleon you brick!!!
He was dead in the 80 yeared war. He was leading victory for The Seven Provincies (later known as the full Netherlands) Belgium has nothing to do with WIlliam. So it's real dumb u just wrote this about.
AND HE WAS A GOOD LEADER!
Kdssow 4 years ago
William of orange was a young man at waterloo, a battle he was most definitely in attendance. He was commanding a combination of dutch and belgian troops (many of which defected) and he was a poor military. Must be a case of mistaken identity.
sirius711 4 years ago
Dude, u know nothing of William of Orange, u haven't read it good like any other british cowfart. The belgians had nothing to do with William of Orange.
And so does it at the napoleonic war. Like i wrote "william died wile the 80 year old war."
He retreated to England, but later he came back to free the seven provincies, what now is called Holland (Netherland) And belgium had nothing to do with holland. LISTEN BETTER NEXT TIME
