Hendrik van der Noot
Hendrik Karel Nicolaas van der Noot (also Noodt , French Henri-Charles-Nicolas ; German also Heinrich Karl Nikolaus ; born January 7, 1731 or 1750 in Brussels ; † January 12, 1827 in Strombeek near Grimbergen ) was a Belgian lawyer and Politician . He played an important role in the Brabant Revolution .
Life
Van der Noot was a lawyer at the Brabant High Council . He publicly declared himself against Joseph II's attempts at Reformation in the Austrian Netherlands and therefore had to flee; he returned in 1788; the dissatisfied gathered around him and formed the Brabant Comitée in Breda .
Van der Noot declared himself plenipotentiary of the Brabant estates and at the same time that Joseph II had ceased to rule over Brabant. Soon he gathered a corps of volunteers, the leader of which was Colonel Jan Andries Vander Mersch . The Austrians were attacked in October 1789 and, as the uprising spread quickly across the country, they were driven out and van der Noot entered Brussels. Partitions and quarrels soon began; In 1790 the Austrians advanced again and van der Noot had to flee Brussels on December 2, 1790. He went to Holland ; an attempt to reappear on the political stage in 1792 failed him. In 1796 he was arrested in Bergen op Zoom on requisition by the French authorities and brought to Herzogenbusch and lived released in Brussels.
