Henricus Popta (3 May 1635 – 7 November 1712)[1] was a Dutch lawyer.
[1][2] His father, Tjebbe Jacobs Popta, was an alcoholic.
[3] He became what in Dutch is called Advocaat bij het hof, a relatively high position.
[2][8] To accomplish this he appointed four guardians,[9] one of whom was his servant—an unusual choice in the period.
[1][6][8] He also founded the charitable Poptagasthuis for women, which is now a monument.
