Together with Van Oldenbarnevelt the famous jurist Hugo Grotius was accused to and kept prisoner at Loevestein Castle. He managed to escape in a chest used to deliver books. There are several chests, so it is not certain this is the real one.

The great lawyer was imprisoned by Maurits of Orange, but he escaped by means of this chest. There is another Grotius chest in Delft. Maurits isn’t the only one with a dislike for lawyers. During Jack Cade's rebellion Dick the Butcher reportedly said: “ The first thing we do, let’s kill all the lawyers. ”, but Grotius is held in high esteem the world over, whilst Maurits and Dick are all but forgotten.
