Tsar Peter's second journey to the Netherlands (1716-1717) is a neglected episode in our national history. During his maiden voyage, the Great Legation of 1697-1698, Peter was the unsavory Muscovy bear, but in 1717 he was the powerful ruler who defeated Charles XII of Sweden. The western powers now had to take him into account. This book describes in scents and colors Peter's stay in the Republic and brings many spicy and sometimes spicy details of eyewitnesses to light. The book makes extensive use of material from Dutch, French, English, Belgian and Russian archives. - Dutch text.
