Who was Henry Casimir II, Prince of Nassau-Dietz?
Henry Casimir II of Nassau-Dietz was Stadtholder of Friesland and Groningen from 1664 till 1696. He was the eldest son of Willem Frederik of Nassau-Dietz and Albertine Agnes of Nassau and succeeded, under guardianship of his mother, his father as Stadtholder of Friesland and Groningen. In 1675 the State of Friesland voted to make the Stadtholdership hereditary in the house of Nassau-Dietz. Hendrik Casimir II was therefore the first Friesian Stadtholder. He married in 1683 with his cousin Henriëtte Amalia of Anhalt-Dessau, daughter of John George II, Prince of Anhalt-Dessau. Hendrik Casimir was succeeded as Stadtholder by his son Johan Willem Friso of Orange-Nassau.
