Commentary	Hans van Uffelen II was the son of Hans van Uffelen I, the son of the very rich Hamburg merchant Dominicus van Uffelen. Hans I migrated to Amsterdam from Hamburg in 1584. He was the brother of Jacomo (Jacques) as well as of Marcus, Daniel, and Dominicus (II) van Uffelen. He was married to Agnieta van Liefvelt, sister of Anna van Liefvelt, the wife of Jeronimius Petiteau, the father of Guillaume Petiteau of INVNO 928. He paid a tax of 25 f. in 1585, a very high amount for that period. He became a citizen of Amsterdam in 1591. He died between 1603 and 1605 (Gelderbloom, Prosopographic Data Base). Hans van Uffelen II was born about 1576. He spent some time in Seville and Malaga before settling in Amsterdam where he was first noted in 1601 (Gelderbloom, ibid.) He wrote an account of a trip to Brazil dated 1598, which actually took place in tha year (Wijnroks, Handel tussen Rusland en de Nederlanden 1540-1640, p. 260). The manuscript account was found in the present inventory. Hans van Uffelen II bought 8 lots of drawings, two tronien and one lot of paint (smalt) in the WK auction of Gillis van Conincxloo in 1607 (R 30510 of Montias2 etc..) He drew up his testament on 10 February 1613, two days before his death. He died as a bachelor on 12 February 1613 in the house of his brother-in-law Hendrick Broen (of R 7618 of Montias2). Hendrick Broen was married to Hans II's sister Anna van Uffelen. For further details on Hans van Uffelen I and II, see the NOTES to R 30510 of Montias2. Hans van Uffelen III, whose relation to Hans van Uffelen I and II has not been ascertained, was brewer in the Rode Ancker according to an act of 9 July 1632, on which date Matheus Capoen, 46, declared at the request of Jan Claesz., biscuit baker, that 3,600 pounds of ship's bread had been delivered to Hans van Uffelen (III) (NA 943, Not. Arent Engel).
