initiated its gardens, menagerie, pheasantry, aviary, hunting-grounds and
fish ponds. Gifts to the Princes presented by befriended sovereigns and the
Dutch East and West India Companies were regularly brought to Honselaarsdijk
(hippopotamus, crane, ostrich, "Indian elk", etc.). The house also lodged
the Indian cabinet of Queen Mary II. After the death of King-Stadtholder
