Plundering in Amsterdam I am also working on a a historical young adult novel (in Dutch) set in Amsterdam in 1786-1787, the last two years of the Patriot movement in the Netherlands, during which traditional opposition against the stadholder and "Prince" of Orange mixed with democratic aspirations among middle class citizens. Characters are based on witness statements from members of the personnel of burgomaster Joachim Rendorp, whose house was plundered during riots between Patriots and Orangists on May 29, 1787.
