Editing Hugo Grotius (section)

==Later years==
Many exiled Remonstrants began to return to the Netherlands after the death of Prince Maurice in 1625 when toleration was granted to them. In 1630, they were allowed complete freedom to build and run churches and schools and to live anywhere in Holland. The Remonstrants guided by [[Johannes Wtenbogaert]] set up a presbyterial organization. They established a theological seminary at Amsterdam where Grotius came to teach alongside [[Simon Episcopius|Episcopius]], [[Philipp van Limborch|van Limborch]], [[Étienne de Courcelles|de Courcelles]], and [[Jean Leclerc (theologian)|Leclerc]].

In 1634, Grotius was given the opportunity to serve as [[Sweden]]'s ambassador to [[France]]. [[Axel Oxenstierna]], regent of the successor of the recently deceased Swedish king, [[Gustavus Adolphus]], was keen to have Grotius in his employ. Grotius accepted the offer and took up [[diplomacy|diplomatic]] residence in Paris, which remained his home until he was released from his post in 1645.{{citation needed|date=June 2015}}

In 1644, the queen [[Christine of Sweden]], who had become an adult, began to perform her duties and brought him back to Stockholm. During the winter of 1644–1645, he went to Sweden in difficult conditions, which he decided to leave in the summer of 1645.

While departing from his last visit to Sweden, Grotius was [[shipwreck]]ed on the voyage. He washed up on the shore of [[Rostock]], ill and weather-beaten, and on August 28, 1645, he died; his body at last returned to the country of his youth, being laid to rest in the [[Nieuwe Kerk (Delft)|Nieuwe Kerk]] in Delft.<ref>{{cite EB1911|wstitle=Delft|volume= 07 |page= 954 }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|last=Spuyman|first=Ceren|date=2019-12-10|title=Hugo de Groot: one of the greatest Dutch thinkers of all time|url=https://dutchreview.com/culture/history/hugo-de-groot-history/|access-date=2020-08-28|website=DutchReview|language=en-GB}}</ref>
