On 10 July 1584, William of Orange was murdered in Delft. The assassin was a fanatical Catholic named Balthasar Gerards. He declared that he had killed the prince because as long as he lived he would remain in opposition to the king and would harm the Catholic Church and society in the Netherlands.
