Cornelis Andriesz Boelens Loen

The Boelens Loen family was deeply involved in the history of their home town.

From this marriage emerged Aaltje Boelens Loen (1579-1630), who was married to Jacob Dircksz de Graeff.

Cornelis Boelens Loen was probably the last male heir of his family; his large fortune passed to his daughter Aaltje and her husband Jacob.

[1] After the Alteratie, Boelens Loen became a member of the Vroedschap in 1579 and Schepen of the city of Amsterdam in 1581.

As such he was present at the battles lost by the Dutch against the Spanish at Groningen and Rennenberg.
