Abstract
H. W. Daendels: Herman Willem Daendels was a man of longstanding reputation in the “Patriot” party. Having fled to France in 1787 when the Regents’ and Orange-party had called in the Prussians to restore the corrupt and decrepit order, Daendels returned as a general under the command of Pichegru in 1795. Together with the Marshall Brune he defeated the Anglo-Russian invasion army in the North of Holland (1799). Having been promoted to Marshall he gave this office precedence over that of G.G. calling himself “the Marshall and Governor-General”.
