- Support: A brilliant article. Just a question: I have read elsewhere that William lost his ability to speak in the assassination attempt of 1582. Is this true? If so, it should be mentioned. (On the other hand, this may just be a myth based on his nickname "William the Silent"). -- Emsworth 17:49, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)
- Thanks! As far as I know, he didn't lose his ability to speak permanently, but I know he was shot in jaw in 1582, so he may have been temporarily unable to speak. I'll look into it. Jeronimo 18:12, 3 Oct 2004 (UTC)

- Haven't been able to find anything so far. I'll thus leave it out until someone can confirm it. Jeronimo 06:21, 6 Oct 2004 (UTC)
