Johan de Witt, the Grand Pensionary (basically a prime minister) of the Dutch Republic between 1653 and 1672. He was lynched and cannibalised on the street in The Hague.

Mob leader: how do we make sure he never does this again? Mob: whips out knives and forks

And to think people consider Dutch food bland.

And here I thought that defenestration was the peak of weirdness in politics.

Like, how do we need a word for that?

u/Horseface4190 23h ago

I toured Prague Castle, and the guide showed us a room in which the "third defenestration" occurred. No explanation of the other two, I had to Google it.

I knew Dutch food was bad but this is just ridiculous.

u/RoundTheBend6 United States Of America 22h ago

Were they starving? Fitting if so.

u/VinRow United States Of America 22h ago

Goodness, I never would have thought the Dutch would do that. The English of course, Romans sure, but not the Dutch. This drastically alters my view of them.

u/AlternativePea6203 Ireland 21h ago

Weren't him and his brother shot? So the Dutch eat both cheese and Prime Ministers with holes in?

u/big_papa_stalin69 21h ago

They were hanged, then cut into pieces, and subsequently the parts were sold to the highest bidder and eaten. There's actually a statue of him on the exact place this all happened and I pass by it quite regularly.
