When Johan went to visit him in prison, the brothers were seized by the mob, dragged out of the building, and lynched. The violence was extreme: the brothers were beaten, mutilated, and their bodies were hung in public.

In a shocking and grotesque turn, some members of the mob reportedly cannibalized parts of their bodies, consuming them as a symbolic act of hatred and revenge.

Oof. That's how you know you've fucked up.

They were victim to a hate campaign by stadtholder and later king of England Willem III, who used the medium of pamphlets to stir up the crowd against the brothers.
