Maximilian married in 1542 with Louise of Croÿ, daughter of Philippe II de Croÿ. The marriage remained childless. After his death, all his possessions went to his nephew Maximilien de Hénin-Liétard, son of his sister Anna. However, the Marquisate of Veere had to be sold for debt.
As Stadtholder of Holland, Zeeland and Utrecht, he was succeeded by William the Silent, at that time still loyal to the King of Spain.
