Wilhem van Citters

Wilhem (II) van Citters (25 May 1723 – 17 August 1802) was a Dutch politician, who served as grand pensionary of Zeeland from 1760 to 1766.

Born in Middelburg to Wilhem van Citters and Maria Kien, his uncle Caspar and nephew Willem Aarnoud were both also grand pensionaries of Zeeland.

Wilhem II began his career in 1750 as pensionary of Middelburg, a role in which he also acted from 1752 to 1755 as one of the Republic's three plenipotentiary commissioners to the Barrier Treaty talks in Brussels.

Via the influence of William V, Wilhem II gave up the post of grand pensionary in 1766 and the followed year the duke of Brunswick confirmed him as representative for the first nobility.

Against protests from his former protege Laurens van der Spiegel, Wilhem II was made secretary as deputy to Thomas de Larrey.
