A nice, lengthy, and detailed account, which even includes pictures and succession boxes. I believe this article rides the line between Start-class and B-class. (If only there were a C, showing more than just a good start, and less than a B, which is to my mind, an article well on its way towards its final form.) In any case, as I see it, the article wants for two main things. (1) Better organization on the page - rearrange the pictures and the text somehow so it doesn't seem quite so jumbled. (2) The introduction paragraph should summarize all I need to know about the subject, and his historical significance. Dates and place of birth are a fine "introduction," in the strict sense of the word, that it goes at the beginning of a chronological account. But I believe that intros should be separate from the chronological biological section. Otherwise, thank you for a very nice start on an interesting subject.

The Military Influence of Maurice of Nassau
TomasBat, if you're still working on this, I think it's critical that the military influence of Maurice, both direct and indirect, be shown. For example, Jacob De la Gardie served under Maurice and began implementing Maurice's reforms in Sweden, while Lennart Torstenson studied under Maurice at the Gymnasium at Siegen in 1624, possibly at the behest of Gustavus Adolphus himself, who (with Tortenson's strong influence) enthusiastically advanced Maurice's reforms. The future Vicomte de Turenne also studied under Maurice in the 1620s. The Duke of Marlborough served and studied under Turenne and co-commanded with Eugen of Savoy, and Eugen commanded Leopold I, the "Old Dessauer," who in turn was the tutor of Frederick the Great. Thus all four of the "modern" generals included in Napoleon's list of the seven great commanders in history can trace an educational path back to Maurice of Nassau.

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Michiel Jansz van Mierevelt - Maurits prins van Oranje-edit 1.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on November 14, 2012. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2012-11-14. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! — howcheng { chat} 02:19, 13 November 2012 (UTC)
This article was moved today from Maurice of Nassau, Prince of Orange to Maurice, Prince of Orange, by the argument that there are no other Maurice's who were prince of Orange. Actually there is: Prince Maurits of Orange-Nassau, van Vollenhoven. Besides that I feel it might be good to keep the "of Nassau". Maurice was 'just' Count of Nassau for most of his life, until his half-brother Philip William of Orange died in 1618, and so was known as "Maurice of Nassau" for most of his life, and is referred to as such in literature.

I think it should be emphasized more that Maurice tried to establish a Reformed dictatorship, as historian Pieter Geyl has pointed out. It's there but could be more distinct in the article. Those plans were partly thwarted by the succession of his brother Frederick Henry. Gerard von Hebel ( talk) 17:41, 13 June 2016 (UTC)
This piece of text: Meanwhile, the Dutch also lost formerly occupied Baia de Todos os Santos, Salvador de Bahia in Brazil, 1 May 1625, under the heavy attacks of the Spanish–Portuguese Fleet, commanded by the Captain General of the Spanish Navy, since 1617, Admiral Fadrique II de Toledo Osorio y Mendoza ( Naples, Italy, May 1580 – 11 December 1634), 1st Marquis of Villanueva de Valdueza, and, since 17 January 1624, Knight of the Order of Santiago" has recently been deleted by User:Palindromedairy.

The prince's given name is Maurits. Why is the anglicised form of his given name used in this article? ʍαμ$ʏ5043 16:15, 17 August 2017 (UTC)
The prince's given name is Moritz. German father, German mother, born in Germany. Why use the Dutch form?
