Scottish scholars and merchants had long been attracted by the opportunities available in the universities and cities of Holland, Zealand, and Flanders, especially by courses in law and medicine. Scottish merchants and craftsmen could be found in towns and cities throughout the Netherlands, especially in Veere, Middelburg, Amsterdam, and Rotterdam. During the 17th century, Scots communities, with their own churches, could be found throughout Holland and Zealand in particular, and by 1700 around 1,000 Scots lived in Rotterdam alone. Some of the Scots found in the Netherlands were religious or political refugees, such as the Covenanters, who fled persecution under the Stuart kings to live among their Calvinist brethren. A small number of Dutch merchants and craftsmen also settled in Scotland during the period, some of whom had been attracted in 1672 when the Scottish government-with the incentive of full naturalization-invited inhabitants of the United Provinces to come across.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor eighty years the Dutch fought to maintain their independence from Spain, and aiding them in their struggle were thousands of Scottish soldiers, who formed the Scots Brigade. The Scots Brigade in Dutch Service was founded in 1572 and continued in existence until 1782, during which time a significant number of men from Scotland fought and later settled in the Netherlands. A number of them and their descendants immigrated to the Dutch settlements in America, stretching from the Hudson River to the West Indies and Surinam.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book, the fourth in the series, identifies some of the Scots with links to the Low Countries, especially seafarers and merchants, but also planters in the Dutch colonies in and around the Caribbean. It is based mainly on primary sources, notably the records of the High Court of the Admiralty of Scotland. In each case, Dr. Dobson states the individual's name, occupation (soldier, merchant, student, etc.), date of the reference, and the source. Marriage entries typically give the Scot's name and place of origin, those of his spouse, and sometimes the name(s) of parents, or more. In a few cases, the references are to Dutch persons who migrated in the opposite direction, lured by Scotland's offer of full naturalization.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Dobson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e2020, paper, 140 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806359137\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e102-8716\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GPC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":32238865809526,"sku":"102-8716","price":25.75,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-8716.png?v=1727805850"},{"product_id":"102-5045","title":"A Collection of Upwards of Thirty Thousand Names of German, Swiss, Dutch, French and Other Immigrants in Pennsylvania from 1727 to 1776","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis work is concerned mainly with early Palatine immigration and contains 319 ships' passenger lists with a total of 30,000 names.

The most notable invasions include the Norse Vikings from around 850 AD, the Anglo-Normans under Strongbow (alias Richard FitzGilbert de Clare) in 1170, the English under King Henry II in 1171, and the Tudors in the late 16th and 17th centuries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe English initially settled in the south-east of Ireland but gradually expanded their power throughout much of the island. The Tudor English struggled with the native Irish until the end of the Nine Years War in 1604, and the “Flight of the Earls” to France or Flanders. King James then allocated their lands among “undertakers” who undertook to settle immigrants from Scotland and England in the Plantation of Ulster. Rebellions against Cromwellian rule in Ireland, such as the Confederate Wars of 1641-1652, led to confiscation of rebel lands, which the Crown granted to former soldiers and to those who had financed the military. Though the Jacobite forces of King James consisted, in part, of French soldiers, and those of King William were partly Dutch and French, there is no sign of their settlement in Ireland at that time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Low Countries, especially the cities of Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Antwerpen, Ostende, and Brugge, were major markets for goods and raw materials imported from Asia, Africa, and the Americas. The continuous stream of ships bound for or returning from the Low Countries encouraged Irish merchants to settle there. Low Countries universities, such as the University of Leiden, attracted Irish scholars. Most of the Irish migrants in Flanders or elsewhere in the Netherlands arrived as soldiers, some in Spanish service, others in English or Dutch service. Irishmen such as Owen Roe O’Neill, Thomas Preston, and Garret Barry, who had experienced warfare in Flanders and in the Thirty Years War, were among those soldiers who returned to Ireland to fight with their Catholic Confederates in their struggle with the forces of the English Parliament. During the Wars of the Three Kingdoms (alias the English Civil War), the indigenous Irish sided with the King, since Parliament was anti-Catholic. This led to Irish and Flemish privateers, like John O’Daniel of Limerick (and formerly in Dunkirk and Ostend), now being based at Waterford or Wexford attacking English or Parliamentary ships.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eKing Charles II took refuge in the Netherlands after being defeated at the Siege of Worcester in 1651. After his restoration to the thrones of England and Ireland in 1660, he encouraged the settlement of Protestants from the Netherlands and Flanders, as well as French Huguenots, in Ireland. On 23 August 1661, King Charles II approved of a bill naturalizing Dutch and other Protestant strangers “for there are now many Protestants in France, Flanders, and other parts that are industrious people, that if they might be there naturalized, would come over and bring with them persons skilled in making several sorts of manufactures.” On 7 September 1661, the Earl of Orrery wrote to Secretary Nicholas “it did my heart good to see at Limerick forty Dutch families, which I had lately gotten thither so busy in their manufactures and plantations.” Flemish Huguenots, in particular, settled in centers such as Dublin, Cork, Youghal, Port Arlington, and at Lisburn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDavid Dobson\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e2025, 5.5\" x 8.5\", paper, 122 pp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eISBN: 9780806360676\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e102-8768\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"GPC","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43103138807926,"sku":"102-8768","price":28.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1654\/3033\/files\/102-8768.png?v=1772215550"}],"url":"https:\/\/heritagebooks.com\/collections\/netherlands\/military-virginia+mississippi+virginia.oembed","provider":"Heritage Books, Inc.","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
