In the fifteenth century, the House of Orange originated in the Spanish province of the Netherlands as a merchant family which grew powerful through the manufacture of orange juice from Spanish-grown oranges, often from Seville. The waste products were used to make a dye for cloth. When William of Orange became King, the tradition was brought to Britain and to this day, orange peel is used to make dye for the uniforms of members of the Orange Order.

Not a lot of people know that.
