TIL Johan de Witt

After the arrival of Johan de Witt, the city guard was sent away on a pretext to stop farmers who were supposedly engaged in pilfering. Without any protection against the assembled mob, the brothers were dragged out of the prison and killed next to a nearby scaffold. Immediately after their deaths, the bodies were mutilated and fingers, toes, and other parts of their bodies were cut off. Other parts of their bodies were eaten by the mob (or taken elsewhere, cooked and then eaten).[5] The heart of Cornelis de Witt was exhibited for many years next to his brother's by one of the ringleaders, the silversmith Hendrik Verhoeff.[6]

tl;dr Holendrzy zamordowali i zjedli swojego polityka.

"Ich śmierć oraz zbezczeszczenie zwłok są do dziś uważane w Holandii za najwstydliwszy moment w historii kraju."
