Jan Bouwensz

Jan Bouwensz , also known as Jan Boudynsz and Jan Baldewini (* around 1452; † March 11, 1514 ) was the state advocate for Holland between 1489 and 1494 .

Vita

Jan Bouwensz studied at the University of Leuven around 1467 . Between the years 1471 and 1479 he was Griffier at the Hof van Holland . Further activities led him to work as a notary in Leiden and in 1481 as an advocaat-fiscaal at the Hof van Holland, Zealand and West Friesland in The Hague . Between the years 1489 and 1494 he was employed by the States of Holland as the state advocate of Holland.

The ancestry of Jan Bouwensz is uncertain. Perhaps he was a son of Boudijn Jan Boudijnsz who was called Schepen von Haarlem between 1441 and 1443 . Jan Bouwensz married Catharina van Naaldwijk, a daughter of Jan van Naaldwijk, treasurer of the city of Leiden. It cannot be said with certainty that his wife Catharina was the mother of his son Baldewinus de Haga, who was born in The Hague around 1470 and died in 1557. Baldewinus entered the Egmond monastery as a monk .
