 In reaction, the regents in Holland, Zeeland, Utrecht, Guelders, and Overijssel, after the death of William II in 1650, appointed no "stadtholder", and banned his son William from the Stadtholdership by an Act of Seclusion, something overcome by popular feeling during the catastrophic events of 1672, the Dutch Year of Disaster ("Rampjaar"), when the future William III of England was swept to power.After the death of William III in 1702 they again abstained from appointing a stadtholder.These periods are known as the First Stadtholderless Period and the Second Stadtholderless Period.
