See also: Regent of Amsterdam
Around 1580 Cornelis Jansz Valckenier wrote about the origins of his family, that his great-grandfather NN Geelrok, after his escape from Brabant, carried out the profession of falconer (hence the name Valckenier ) and chief hunter for the Duke of Geldern . His son Jelis also became a falconer with the duke. His son, Cornelis Jansz Valckenier's father, Jan Gillisz Valckenier (also Jan Jelisz Valckenier) established himself as a merchant in Amsterdam. According to Hans Bontemantel , he was a skipper between Amsterdam and Leiden , and the father of the Adriaan brothers, Wouter , Jan and Jacob Valckenier.
During the Dutch Golden Age, members of the Valckeniers held various important offices in the government of Amsterdam and in Holland . Some like Gillis Valckenier were prinsgezind (that is, on the side of the Orange ), still others were staatsgezind (republicans).
