"There was a brief period however, around 1700 (roughly during the reign of Louis XIV, le roi Soleil), when the Prince of Orange actually was king of England."
A brief period! It was the Glorious Revolution!
= )
King William's reign: 1688-1702. England was not to enjoy his equal until Victoria.
It may have been around before that, but "Perfidious Albion", again according to the Churchill biography, arises from the English Tories (St. John and Harley) around 1710 betraying both Marlborough (who was quite popular on the continent) and their allies (the Dutch and HRE) to make a separate peace with the Sun King just when he was finally on the ropes, leaving the allies high and dry in the process. St. John especially did things like approving a campaigning plan, then sending secret orders for the British to withdraw during battle, and informing the French of the orders so they could slaughter the Dutch/Germans! The crafty Dutch, of course, sniffed out the plot, likely with aid from their brave British comrades.
Whatever - the pale perfidy surely had a stronger hold in the tidewater region of the New World in 1643 than did the lusty Swede. Heck, cram 'em both in there, its not like there's enough pop to work all the tiles.
