The States of Holland should not be confused with the ''States-General'', or '' Staten-Generaal '', the confederate government of the Republic of the Seven United Netherlands as a whole. Each of the Netherlands had its own '' States '' and Holland was just one of seven. Nevertheless this province was so dominant that a politician controlling the States of Holland by being Land's Advocate Of Holland or Grand Pensionary , in fact controlled the Republic. Johan De Witt is a case in point, and Johan Van Oldebarnevelt another famous example. |
