The Orangists were the conservative faction of Dutch politics under the Dutch Republic. Originating from the Counter-Remonstrants, a conservative Calvinist faction that believed in predestination, the Orangists supported the House of Orange's monarchical rule over the republic and were opposed to the Dutch States Party, the republican-liberal faction. The party won support from traditionalists, farmers, soldiers, noblemen, and orthodox Protestant preachers, and was in power until the death of William II of Orange in 1650, from the Rampjaar coup of 1672 to the death of Prince William of Orange in 1702, from the Orangist Revolution of 1747 to the rise of the Patriots in 1785, and from the Prussian invasion of Holland in 1787 to the French establishment of the Batavian Republic in 1795. The Orangists periodically returned to power by force, including the murder of the De Witt brothers in 1672 and a 1647 revolution against the republicans. However, during the Napoleonic Wars, the British failed to incite an Orangist insurrection against the French puppet regime, and many Orangists became Bonapartists after France annexed the Netherlands from 1810 to 1813.
