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.
