Note

in Dutch, Willem Frederik. He was also grand duke of Luxembourg (1815-40). In the War of the First Coalition against revolutionary France, William commanded the Dutch army from 1793 until 1795, when his country was overrun by the French. Hethereafter lived in England and Germany, returning to the Netherlands in 1813. The Treaty of Paris (1814) provided that the Netherlands and Belgium be united into a single kingdom, and William was proclaimed its first king. In 1815, by decisionof the Congress of Vienna, he ceded his hereditary properties in Germany to Prussia, receiving in exchange the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. William soon estranged his Belgian subjects by his discriminatory policies, and he was unable to preventthe secession of Belgium in 1830. He abdicated in favor of his son, William II, in 1840 after repeated demands by his Dutch subjects for a liberalized constitution. Despite his reactionary policies, William greatly encouraged the agriculturaland industrial development of the Netherlands.
