Staatsbewind
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Staatsbewind (translated into english as "state council" or "state authority") was a governing council of the Batavian Republic between 1801 and 1805. The presidents of the Staatsbewind were acting heads of state of the Batavian Republic.
[edit] Reign of the Staatsbewind
The Staatsbewind came into power after a coup d'état against the Uitvoerend Bewind on 17 October 1801. The reign of the Staatsbewind ended on 29 April, when emperor Napoleon of France appointed Rutger Jan Schimmelpenninck as grand pensionary of the Batavian Republic.
