In 1650 ado was made over the division of authority over the troops. Stadtholder William II visited the towns involved to discuss the manner. However, Amsterdam refused to receive the stadtholder. Eventually representatives for Amsterdam, Huydecoper and Van der Does, travelled to the Welna manor on the river Amstel in an armoured yacht to commence negotiations with William Frederick. Amsterdam feared for her merchant interests and yielded, promising to receive the prince with much honour.
