Description

Discover the life of Hans Willem Bentinck, 1st Earl of Portland (1649-1709), through this detailed historical study from Routledge. As the closest confidant of William III, Bentinck was a central figure in Williamite Britain. This book tracks his journey from his early days as a page to William of Orange in 1664 to his rise as a major political force in both The Netherlands and Britain. Rather than a simple biography, this work uses a chronological approach to examine broader political themes within a European context. It provides a deep look at how Portland's fortunes grew alongside the Prince's rise to power. This text is an essential resource for readers interested in the politics and culture of Europe between 1650 and 1750, offering a window into the power structures of the late 17th and early 18th centuries.
