When Johan went to visit him in prison, the brothers were seized by the mob, dragged out of the building, and lynched. The violence was extreme: the brothers were beaten, mutilated, and their bodies were hung in public.
In a shocking and grotesque turn, some members of the mob reportedly cannibalized parts of their bodies, consuming them as a symbolic act of hatred and revenge.
They were victim to a hate campaign by stadtholder and later king of England Willem III, who used the medium of pamphlets to stir up the crowd against the brothers.
Oof. That’s how you know you’ve fucked up.
