He was ambassador to Scotland from the Dutch Republic or United Provinces for the christening of Prince Henry in August 1594, accompanied by "Jacobus Falkius", Jacob Valcke, treasurer of Zeeland (died 1623).

[2] They stayed for two weeks in Leith and Edinburgh, meeting Alexander Seton, 1st Earl of Dunfermline, before travelling to Linlithgow and then to Stirling, where they were accommodated in Argyll's Lodging.

Brederode and Valck were lodged in Stirling town and over the next few days came to the Palace for dinners hosted by the Earl of Mar and the other ambassadors.

[7] He also brought a copy of the Scottish ratification of the Treaty of Binche[8] (5 December 1550) which was made on 1 May 1551, and he confirmed this league of friendship between Scotland and the Low Countries at Edinburgh on 13 September 1594.

[14][15] Brederode and Valke travelled from Edinburgh first to Seton Palace, then to Newcastle upon Tyne where they were welcomed by the town officials and the mayor Lionel Maddison.

[16] They were treated to a banquet including baked rabbit, fish, and swan, a barrel of London beer, and sugar confectionaries, to the accompaniment of music by the town waits.
