Frederik Hendrik
Frederick Henry (Dutch: Frederik Hendrik; 29 January 1584 – 14 March 1647) was the sovereign prince of Orange and stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Guelders, and Overijssel in the Dutch Republic from his older half-brother's death on 23 April 1625 until his death on 14 March 1647. In the last seven years of his life, he was also the stadtholder of Groningen (1640-1647).

The successful sieges under his command earned him the epithet ‘city forcer’ (Dutch: stedendwinger). He was the paternal grandfather of William III, who later became King of England, Sc
