Rijksmuseum 2013 – Chest of Hugo Grotius

Rijksmuseum 2013 – Chest of Hugo Grotius
The great lawyer was imprisoned by Maurits of Orange, but he escaped by means of this chest. There is another Grotius chest in Delft.

Maurits isn’t the only one with a dislike for lawyers. During Jack Cade's rebellion Dick the Butcher reportedly said: “The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers.”, but Grotius is held in high esteem the world over, whilst Maurits and Dick are all but forgotten.
