Maurice of Orange

Maurice of Orange, also known as Maurice of Nassau, was born in 1567. He became Prince of Orange in 1618. During Maurice's reign the Netherlands were fighting for independence from Spain. Until Maurice took control, the revolt against the Spaniards was disorganized. He organized the troops and won several important victories that led to a 12-year truce, which ended in 1621. His attempts to deal with Spain after the truce ended were not successful. Maurice never married and was succeeded by his brother. He lived an extravagant life and was a great admirer of horses. He referred to them as his 'favorite courtiers'. Whether that was an indictment of his human courtiers or an elevation of a prized animal is uncertain. In Age of Empires III: Definitive Edition, Maurice is noble in bearing, refined, and confident. After his difficulties with the Spanish during his reign, he may be hesitant to want to help them.
