A letter that used the term "stippleckens", meaning "little dots" influenced this man. This man is believed to have played a large role in the execution of Johan van Oldenbarnevelt. This man borrowed the tactic of the countermarch, in which ranks of riflemen fire and then retreat, from the ideas of William Lodewijk. The winner of the Battle of Nieuwport, this man's ideas were used to by Gustavus Adolphus to win the Battle of Breitenfeld. For ten points, name this statholder and son of William the Silent who used Roman military tactics to revolutionize battle strategy in the late 16th century.
