Grotius was deeply involved in Dutch politics, serving as advocaat-fiscaal (attorney general) of the provinces of Holland, Zeeland, and West Friesland. As a member of the Remonstrants (primarily upper-class āregentsā siding with tolerant Protestantism), Grotius was engaged in a bitter political struggle against the Gomarists (orthodox Calvinists led by Franciscus Gomarus), who were under the leadership of Prince Maurice, for control of the country.
