'''Prince of Orange''' is a [[title]] of [[nobility]], originally associated with the [[Principality of Orange]], in what is now southern [[France]].


It is carried by members of the [[House of Orange-Nassau]], as [[heirs]] to the crown of the Netherlands, and is also seen carried by the pretenders by members of the [[Hohenzollern|House of Hohenzollern]]. It is currently carried by [[Willem-Alexander, Prince of Orange|Prince Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands]] (Orange-Nassau), [[Georg Friedrich, Prince of Prussia]] (Hohenzollern) and Guy, Marquis de Mailly-Neslé, Prince d'Orange.


==The Principality of Orange==
[[Image:Four generations Princes of Orange - William I, Maurice and Frederick Henry, William II, William III (Willem van Honthorst, 1662).jpg|thumb|225px|Four generations Princes of Orange - William I, Maurice and Frederick Henry, William II, William III ''(Willem van Honthorst, 1662)'']]
The title originally referred to the sovereign [[Principality of Orange]] in the [[Rhône River|Rhone]] valley in southern [[France]], which was a property of the [[house of Orange]] and from 1544 of the [[house of Orange-Nassau]].

Because Orange was a [[fief]] in the [[Holy Roman Empire]], in its [[King of Burgundy|Kingdom of Burgundy]], the title contained feudal rights and that sovereignty which German principalities came to enjoy.


hvent talk u in a million gaggilion years how r u was up when u coming to O-TOWN u should come sooon dudehvent talk u in a million gaggilion years how r u was up when u coming to O-TOWN u should come sooon dude
The last descendant of the original princes, [[René of Châlon|René of Nassau]], left the principality to his cousin [[William I of Orange|William the Silent]], who was not a descendant of the original Orange family but the legal heir to the principality of Orange.


hvent talk u in a million gaggilion years how r u was up when u coming to O-TOWN u should come sooon dude
In 1673, [[Louis XIV of France]] annexed all territory of the principality to the royal domain, as part of the war actions against the [[stadtholder]] [[William III of England|William III of Orange]] — who later became King William III of [[England]] and King William II of [[Scotland]].

In 1673, Louis XIV bestowed the (now non-sovereign) principality on Louis of Mailly-Nesles, marquis of Nesles (1689–1764), a very remote descendant of the original princes of Orange{{Citation needed|date=July 2008}}. His descendant still claims the title today. In 1714, Louis XIV bestowed the [[usufruct]] of the principality on Prince Louis Armand of Bourbon-Conti. He died in 1727 and the principality was merged in the Crown in 1731.


Because William III died without legitimate children, the principality was regarded as having been inherited by his closest cognate relative on the basis of the testament of Frederic-Henry, [[Frederick I of Prussia]] {{Citation needed|date=July 2008}}, who ceded the principality — at least the lands, but not the formal title — to France in 1713. France supported his claim. In this way, the territory of the principality lost its feudal and secular privileges and became a part of France. The [[Treaty of Utrecht]] allowed the King of Prussia to erect part of the duchy of Gelderland (the cities of Geldern, Straelen and Wachtendonk with their bailiwicks, Krickenbeck (including Viersen), the land of Kessel, the lordships of Afferden, Arcen-Velden-Lomm, Walbeck-Twisteden, Raay and Klein-Kevelaer, Well, Bergen and Middelaar into a new ''Principality of Orange''{{Citation needed|date=July 2008}}. The kings of Prussia and the German emperors styled themselves Princes of Orange till 1918.


hvent talk u in a million gaggilion years how r u was up when u coming to O-TOWN u should come sooon dude
An [[agnatic relative]] of William III, [[John William Friso, Prince of Orange|John William Friso of Nassau]], who also by female line descended from [[William the Silent]], was designated the heir to the princes of Orange in the [[Netherlands]] by the last will of William III. Several of his descendants became stadtholders. They claim the principality of Orange on the basis of agnatic inheritance{{Citation needed|date=July 2008}}, similar to that of William the Silent, inheriting from his cousin [[René of Châlon|René]], though not being descendants of the original princes of Orange, and also on basis of the testament of Philips William, Maurice and William III. France never allowed them to obtain anything of the principality itself, but they nevertheless assumed the title. From that derivation of the title comes the tradition of later stadtholders of the Netherlands, and the present-day royal family of the Netherlands, of also holding this title.

Thus, there are now two {{Citation needed|date=July 2008}}pretender claimants to this title:

==Bearers of the title==
===As sovereign prince of Orange===
Until 1340, it was customary for all sons of the prince of Orange to inherit the title.
Only the direct line of descent to Raimond V is shown here.

Using a [[bugle|bugle-horn]] at the battlefield was the distinctive trademark of Bertrand I of Baux. Bertrand I used as Prince of Orange the coat of arms of the [[House of Baux]]: a 16-pointed white star placed on a field of [[gules]]. Later on, the Princes of Orange incorporated the legendary bugle-horn as a heraldic figure into their coat of arms.

====House of Mailly====
* '''Louis de Mailly, Marquis de Nesle et de Mailly''', appointed by the French king, and his descendants, currently Guy, Marquis de Nesle et de Mailly, Prince d'Orange.

==The Princes of Orange of the House of Orange-Nassau==
[[Image:Blason Nassau-Orange.svg|thumb|right|200px|Coat of arms of the Princes of Orange of the House of Orange-Nassau]]
===Historical background===
[[William the Silent]] (Willem I) was the first stadtholder of the [[Dutch Republic]] and the most significant representative of the House of Orange in the Netherlands. He was [[count]] of a small German county, part of the Duchy of [[Nassau (duchy)|Nassau]] and heir to some of his father's fiefs in Holland. William obtained more extensive lands in the Netherlands (the lordship of Breda and several other dependencies) as an inheritance from his cousin [[René of Châlon|René, Prince of Orange]], when William was only 11 years old. After William's [[assassination]] in 1584, the title passed to his son [[Philip William, Prince of Orange|Philip William]] (who had been held hostage in Spain until 1596), and after his death in 1618, to his second son [[Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange|Maurice]], and finally to his youngest son, [[Frederick Henry, Prince of Orange|Frederick Henry]].


The title of Prince of Orange became synonymous with the stadtholder of the Netherlands.


[[William III of England|William III]] (Willem III) was also King of [[Kingdom of England|England]], [[Kingdom of Scotland|Scotland]] and [[Kingdom of Ireland|Ireland]], and his legacy is commemorated annually by the Protestant [[Orange Institution|Orange Order]].


[[William and Mary]] had no legitimate children. After his death in 1702, the Dutch contender to his title was his heir in the Netherlands, [[John William Friso, Prince of Orange|John William Friso of Nassau-Diez]], who assumed the title. William's testament designated Friso to inherit the title. The other contender was the King in Prussia, who based his claim to the title on the will of Frederick Henry, William III's grandfather. Eventually, a compromise was reached by which both families were entitled to bear the title of Prince of Orange. By then, it was no more than a title because the principality had been annexed by [[Louis XIV of France]].


Friso's line held it as their principal title during the 18th century. The French army drove them away from the Netherlands in 1795, but on their return, the Prince of Orange became the first sovereign of the Netherlands in 1813.


After the establishment of the current Kingdom of the Netherlands in 1815, the title was partly reconstitutionalized in a bill and granted to the eldest son of King William I of the Netherlands, Prince William, who later became William II of the Netherlands. Since 1983, the heir to the Dutch throne, whether male or female{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}}, bears the title Prince or Princess of Orange. The first-born child of the heir to the Dutch throne bears the title Hereditary Prince(ss) of Orange{{Citation needed|date=January 2009}}. Currently, [[Princess Catharina-Amalia of the Netherlands|Princess Catharina-Amalia]] is the Hereditary Princess of Orange. She will be the Princess of Orange once her father, Prince Willem-Alexander, is inaugurated King of the Netherlands.


The Prince(ss) of Orange is [[Style - Manner of Address|styled]] ''His/Her Royal Highness the Prince(ss) of Orange'' (Dutch: ''Zijne/Hare Koninklijke Hoogheid de Prins(es) van Oranje'').
