Summary

In this latest episode of the FDW, we continue our analysis of the rise of the Earl of Danby, and his plans to ingratiate his king towards Parliament in order to get the grants from that institution he needed. Through such grants, Danby believed, Charles II would be freed from such a heavy reliance on Louis XIV’s subsidies, which even though the full extent of them were not known, they were suspected. To distance his king from the French, and side with the more popular Dutch, as 1677 looked to be another hard slog for the allies, Danby sought a solution which would grant his administration some popular outcome, amidst a returning Parliament that had been prorogued for 15 months. Danby found it in the culmination of some feverish Anglo-Dutch diplomacy instigated in the first instance by William of Orange. Another marriage of Orange to Stuart, it seemed, was on the cards once more....Remember history friends, make sure you BEFIT!Support us on Patreon and access the Xtra... Get bonus content on Patreon

0:00.0	Hello and welcome to When Diplomacy Fails, my lovely history friends.
0:03.8	This is the 21st episode of the Franco-Dutch War.
0:07.4	So if you haven't listened to the other episodes, you might want to do that now, and that way you'll know what's going on.
0:13.0	If you don't really care either way, if this is just a tester for yourself,
0:16.4	to see if you can truly withstand another history podcast in your life,
0:20.3	especially one run by a guy called
0:22.2	Zach Twomley of all things. What kind of a name is that? Well, history friends, I didn't choose my name,
0:27.5	but I did choose this podcast, and I chose this war to cover as well, because I thought it was so darn
0:32.8	interesting, and hopefully, because you've listened to a few episodes already, you'll agree with
0:37.4	this. The Franco-Dutch War is a really interesting tale, and we've listened to a few episodes already, you'll agree with this.
0:38.4	The Franco-Dutch War is a really interesting tale and we've been with it since the beginning.
0:42.8	We're nearly at the end, we're nearly finished covering it, one of Louis's greatest hits or worst hits,
0:47.7	depending on how you feel about it, and it'll lead us handily into the next phase of our podcast,

0:59.2	but make for very interesting reading and hopefully listening, events such as the War of the
1:03.1	Grand Alliance, the Last Siege of Vienna, all sorts of things, Jan Sobieski coming to the rescue
1:08.8	of Western Christendom.
1:12.1	All of that's ahead of us, guys.
1:16.9	And I'd like to remind you that this podcast is taking a break over the summer months after we have our massive blowout birthday from the 18th of May onwards,
1:21.3	which I'm still keeping a secret from you guys,
1:23.1	because we're near to the air and it's going to be amazing,
