About this person
Albertus Henricus Wiese was a Dutch colonial administrator who served as the governor-general of the Dutch East Indies from 1805 to 1808, during which time the Dutch Republic became, during the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars, first the Batavian Republic and then the Kingdom of Holland. The Dutch East Indies were subject to attacks and blockades by British forces, while native kings and princes took the opportunity of troubled times to reassert themselves. Weakness of control from the homeland led to a growth of corruption, nepotism and lawlessness in the Dutch East Indies.
