For the time being, this will stop the rapid advance of the French. But the population is restless. Regents are blamed for the plight of the country. False news reports and pamphlets whip up emotions to great heights. Attacks take place on Johan and Cornelis de Witt, the call for a strong leader swells. At the beginning of July 1672, the regents tack; Willem III is appointed as stadtholder. The House of Orange has been restored to all its former functions. But peace has not yet returned. A month later, the trial for treason against the De Witt brothers ends in a lynching. And the army of Louis XIV is far from defeated. At the end of the year, French troops make an ultimate attempt to destroy the waterline. That fails. During the retreat, the population of Zwammerdam and Bodegraven had to endure mercilessly.
