William, by the Grace of God

Marjorie Bowen, an author of «William, by the Grace of God,» was fascinated by the history of the House of Orange and the glory of its greatest representative William the Silent. In this book, she lets a reader look closer at William of Orange, considered today the father of Europe. Big attention is paid to Philip's religion. Being nominally a Roman Catholic, he attempts to help the persecuted Protestants and, in the process, marries the Protestant Princess Anne of Saxony. But will Anne truly be a helpmeet for her husband? When he is pressed to take up the sword against King Philip, he does not hesitate and changes the history of the world.
