Roemer with the arms and the motto of Prince Maurice
The barren, chopped-down tree engraved on the glass stands for Maurice’s assassinated father, William of
Orange. Sprouting from another stump are two twigs: Maurice and his younger brother, Frederick Henry.
Maurice’s motto (Tandem fit surculus arbor) reads in translation: ‘In time, the (off)shoot becomes a tree.’ By
1606, when this glass was engraved, Maurice had already racked up many military successes.
