When

Where
Goejanverwellesluis, site of the stop and two-day detention
Part of
Capture of Princess Wilhelmina of Orange by Patriots

On 28 June 1787 Wilhelmina was stopped at Goejanverwellesluis en route to The Hague; permission to continue was denied and she returned to William after two days.

After the revolution broke out in 1787 and William moved his court to Guelders, Wilhelmina attempted to return to The Hague. On 28 June 1787 she was stopped at Goejanverwellesluis and waited there for permission to continue to her destination. When permission was denied, she went back to William after two days. The supplied passages do not name the party that stopped her, so the attribution to Dutch Republican patriots rests on the event framing rather than cited text.
