Prince William of Orange

[clydeserani]

Is the following true??? Prince William of Orange, named this because he came from the Orange Region of Holland??? was sent to Britain by his father the Dutch King because England was getting too big for its boots,

he was the Third son and is said to have had a lisp and apparently known as having low intelligence. His Army represented the Pope which would then in turn mean that he was acutally Catholic.....

If the Catholic bit is true, then why is he the modern day representative of so many Protestants etc.. (the origin of the name given to The Orange Walk???)

And lastly, Prince William was not even present at the Battle of the Boyne, but he was present at a smaller battle about 20 miles away...?????

I am not religious in any way so please dont shoot me down for posting this question. I am just trying to find out the truth of the matter as I constantly have these "facts" told to me by someone who claims they know everything about everything.

I've looked in on this subject rather late in the day as it were, but here's my pennyworth.

People who bang on about various areas of the UK obviously have simply not thought about past British history. It would be incredible if such a creature as a pure blooded Scotsman, Welshman, Irish or Englishman exists.
With so many invasions over time or landings of wrecked seaman from wherever and raiding/raping Corsairs or Phoenician traders associating with the local wenches. plus slaves from different parts of the world then the very thought is ludicrous.
I rest my case. Lertnik.
