For most Dutchmen Den Haag (The Hague) represents the politics of national government. While technically not the national capitol, Den Haag is the place for ministers and parliament. This political scheming has its consequences for the kindred of this place.
Since the Dutch Revolt (1568-1648) the city was functioning as the seat of government. Den Haag was fairly empty of Vampires then. The few that were still existing by the time of the Peace treaty of 1648 were quickly disposed of or destroyed. Some of them were of Spanish or German origins.
In the Akkoorden van het Malieveld it was decided that every city in the newly formed Dutch Republic should have representation in The Hague. That should insure equal representation and influence on mortal government. Every city sent it's own kindred, no one would be prince. Within the rules of the Camarilla, Den Haag would have no prince, only primogen.
Lots of things have changed. While still being princeless, The Hague has proven itself to be a deadly battlefield. On several occasions it attracted the uncanny attention of the Justicars, up to the point where Justicar Karl Schreckt decided to clean the city and build it from the ground up. That was in the beginning of the 20th century.
Justicar Schreckt wanted a prince in the place, and temporarily chose nearby Peter Fritzenklein as prince. When the Justicar left, Den Haag was left to its own devices. The row began all over again, with Peter having nothing to say in the matter. Modern kindred historians blame it on the mortal organisation of the city: kindred society merely follows their example. In the end, Peter Fritzenklein was unofficially disposed as prince and the council of primogen took control.
