Overview: Adam Frans Jules Armand, Count van der Duyn, lord of Maasdam and 's-Gravenmoer (13 April 1771 - 19 September 1848) was Dutch officer and politician. He was part of the Triumvirate of 1813 that invited Prince William Frederick of Orange-Nassau to become Sovereign Prince of the Netherlands. He was born in Deventer, Overijssel.(Submitted on January 18, 2023.)
On the triumvirate: In 1811 Van der Duyn moved to The Hague. He joined the circle of conspirators around Gijsbert Karel van Hogendorp who were planning an uprising against the French occupators. In November 1813, when it came clear that Emperor Napoleonwas losing the war against the Coalition, Van der Duyn, Van Hogendorp and Leopold van Limburg Stirum took power after an uprising which was planned carefully, and formed a Triumvirate that invited Prince William Frederick, the son of the last stadtholder, to come to the Netherlands and to accept the title of Sovereign Prince. On 30 November 1813 Prince William Frederick landed at Scheveningen. After the return of Prince William, a commission was set up to draft a Constitution. Van der Duyn was made a member of that commission that was headed by Van Hogendorp.Photographed by Andrew Ruppenstein, November 7, 20232. Adam van der Duyn van Maasdam Marker - wide view
