Blanckenhof Accords

The Blanckenhof Accords (Blanckenhof Akkoorden) of 1685 AN were hosted at Blanckenhof Palace. The location was chosen to avoid that a mob could pressure the political elite into approving radical laws. A joint session of the Lagerhuis and Hogerhuis met in a meeting, hosted by prime minister Paulus de Withe. The representatives discussed several political issues which had caused the - still ongoing - Batavian Revolution. The possibility of an invasion of Batavia by its neighbours was addressed, while the vacant Throne also became a serious concern for the government.
