List of grand pensionaries information


The following is a list of grand pensionaries of Holland, Zeeland and the Batavian Republic. During the time of the Dutch Republic, the grand pensionary was the most prominent member of the government. Though officially only a civil servant of the estates, the grand pensionary was the de facto leader of the entire republic, second only to the stadtholder, and often served in a capacity similar to that of today's prime ministers.
