The Dutch Spy Who Betrayed the Golden Age
Om avsnittet
In 1672, the Year of Disaster, the Dutch Republic faced invasion from all sides. But the greatest threat may have come from within. This episode tells the story of Abraham de Wicquefort, a brilliant diplomat and journalist who sold state secrets to the French, and the shadowy world of espionage in the Golden Age. We explore how the Republic's intelligence networks operated, why a man so trusted turned traitor, and how de Wicquefort's unmasking changed Dutch diplomacy forever. Lucas and Luna also discuss the legacy of betrayal in a small republic that depended on trust and secrecy.
