The Brothers de Witt symbolise the "Loevestein faction".The room in Loevestein Castle where, according to tradition, Hugo Grotius was held captive.
The Loevestein faction[1] (Dutch: Loevesteinse factie) or the Loevesteiners were a Dutch States Party in the second half of the 17th century in the County of Holland, the dominant province of the Dutch Republic. It claimed to be the party of "true freedom" against the stadtholderate of the House of Orange-Nassau, and sought to establish a purely republican form of government in the Northern Netherlands.[2][3][4]
