==Early life==
==Vroeë lewe==
William was born in [[Leeuwarden]], Netherlands, the son of [[John William Friso, Prince of Orange]], head of the [[Frisia]]n branch of the [[House of Orange-Nassau]], and of his wife [[Landgravine Marie Louise of Hesse-Kassel]] (or Hesse-Cassel). He was born six weeks after the death of his father.
William is gebore in [[Leeuwarden]], Nederland as die seun van [[Johan Willem Friso van Nassau-Dietz]], hoof van die [[Friesland|Fries]]e tak van die [[Huis van Oranje-Nassau]], en van sy vrou Landgrafin Marie Louise van Hesse-Kassel (of Hesse-Cassel). Hy is ses weke na die dood van sy vader gebore.


William succeeded his father as [[Stadtholder]] of [[Friesland]] and also, under the regency of his mother until 1731, as Stadtholder of [[Groningen (province)|Groningen]]. In 1722 he was elected Stadtholder of [[Guelders]]. The four other provinces of the [[Dutch Republic]]:, [[Holland]], [[Zeeland]], [[Utrecht]] and [[Overijssel]] had in 1702 decided not to appoint a stadtholder after the death of stadtholder [[William III of England|William III]], issuing the history of the Republic into a period that is known as the [[Second Stadtholderless Period]]. In 1747 those four provinces also accepted William as their stadtholder.
Willem het sy vader opgevolg as [[stadhouer]] van [[Friesland]], en ook, onder die regentskap van sy moeder tot 1731 as stadhouer van [[Groningen (provinsie)|Groningen]]. In 1722 is hy verkies as [[Stadhouer]] van [[Gelre]]. Die vier ander provinsies van die [[Nederlandse Republiek]] naamlik, [[Holland]], [[Zeeland]], [[Utrecht]] en [[Overijssel]]] het in 1702 besluit om geen stadhouer aan te stel na die dood van stadhouer [[Willem III van Engeland|Willem III]] nie, en sodeonde die Republiek gestuur in 'n tydperk wat bekend sou staan as die Tweede stadhouerlose periode. In 1747 het die vier provinsies Willem ook as steenkolwer aanvaar.

==Marriage and children==
In 1720 William was named the 549th [[Knight]] of the [[Order of the Garter]]. On 25 March 1734 he married at [[St James's Palace]] [[Anne, Princess Royal and Princess of Orange|Anne, Princess Royal]], eldest daughter of [[George II of Great Britain|King George II of Great Britain]] and [[Caroline of Ansbach]]. William and Anne had five children:

== Later lewe ==
In 1739 William inherited the estates formerly owned by the Nassau-Dillenburg branch of his family, and in 1743 he inherited those formerly owned by the Nassau-Siegen branch of his family.
[[Lêer: Portret van Willem IV Rijksmuseum SK-A-6.jpeg|duimnael|upright|Portret van Willem, 1751]]


In 1739 het Willem die boedels geërf wat voorheen deur die Nassau-Dillenburg-tak van sy familie besit is, en in 1743 het hy die erfenisse wat voorheen deur die Nassau-Siegen-tak van sy familie besit is geërf. In April 1747 het die Franse leër [[Vlaandere]] binnegekom en Nederland gedreig, wat verswak was deur die interne verdelings. Die Nederlanders het besluit dat hul land 'n enkele sterk uitvoerende gesag nodig het, en hulle gevolglik tot die [[Huis van Oranje]] gewend. Willem en sy gesin het van Leeuwarden na [[Den Haag]] verhuis. Op 4 Mei 1747 het die State-Generaal van Nederland Willem as Generaal Stadhouer van al sewe [[Nederlandse Republiek|Verenigde Provinsies]] van Nederland benoem, en die titel die eerste keer oorerflik gemaak. Willem het hertog Louis Ernest van Brunswyk-Lüneburg in 1747 ontmoet, en hom twee jaar later aangestel veldmaarskalk van die Nederlandse Staatsleër, wat later daartoe gelei het dat Louis Ernest as een van die regente vir Willem se erfgenaam gedien het. Willem IV was beskou as 'n aantreklike, opgevoede en bekwame prins. Alhoewel hy min ervaring in staatsake gehad het, was Willem aanvanklik gewild onder die mense. Hy het die praktyk van indirekte belasting waardeur onafhanklike kontrakteurs daarin geslaag het om groot bedrae vir hulself te verdien gestop. Desondanks was hy ook 'n direkteur-generaal van die [[Verenigde Oos-Indiese Kompanjie]]. Hy het ook sy bondgenootskap met die sakeklas verdiep terwyl die verskil tussen die rykes en armes toegeneem het.
In April 1747 the French army entered [[Flanders]], threatening the Netherlands, which was weakened by internal division. The Dutch decided that their country needed a single strong executive, and turned to the House of Orange. William and his family moved from Leeuwarden to [[The Hague]]. On 4 May 1747, the [[States General of the Netherlands]] named William General Stadtholder of all seven of the [[Dutch Republic|United Provinces]] of the Netherlands, and made the position hereditary for the first time. William first met [[Duke Louis Ernest of Brunswick-Lüneburg]] in 1747, and two years later appointed him field marshal of the [[Dutch States Army]], which later led to Louis Ernest serving as one of the regents for William's heir.


William het tot en met sy dood in 1751 in [[Den Haag]] gedien as Algemene [[Stadhouer]] van die hele Nederland.
William IV was considered an attractive, educated, and accomplished prince in his prime. Although he had little experience in state affairs, William was at first popular with the people. He stopped the practice of indirect taxation by which independent contractors managed to make large sums for themselves. Nevertheless, he was also a Director-General of the [[Dutch East India Company]], and his alliance with the business class deepened while the disparity between rich and poor grew.


Die county van Orange, [[Virginia]], en die stad [[Orangeburg]], [[Suid-Carolina]], is na hom vernoem.
William served as General Stadtholder of all the Netherlands until his death in 1751 at [[The Hague]].


==Notas==
The county of [[Orange, Virginia]], and the city of [[Orangeburg, South Carolina]], are named after him.
