Commentary

On 11 May 1619, Bertram de Rocourt, widower of Marie de Fontaine, from Cambray, was betrothed to Catherine de Roseau, from Rijssel, widow of Jan de Latie, living on the Keysersgracht (DTB 763/71). He may have been the brother of the art dealer Louis Rocourt of INVNO 624. On Isaack Castelijn, a witness to the present inventory (who also lived on the West side of the Keysersgracht), see R 30817 of Montias2; on Jan de la Court, see R 23699 of Montias2. Bertran de Rocourt may be identical with Bertrant de Baucourt, a spigilliewercker (a maker of a sort of lace or embroidery) who, on 7 November 1613, took on as an apprentice a ten-year-old boy named Jan Harmansz. (Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P., 78(1933), pp. 66-7). On 21 September 1620, Bertran de Rocourt and his wife Cathaline Roseau passed their testament in French before notary Jacob Jacobsz. They mentioned their daughters Barbara and Anne Roseau, sister of Catherine Roseau. The testament was signed by the used clothing dealer, Franchois de Gouve, the husband of the uitdraagster Marry d'Arras of R 36558 of Montias2 (NA 389, fol. 139-1400.) The heirs of Bartrant de Roucourt, who included the children of Jan Lambrechtsz., keurmeester van de hennip, were cited in the Inbringenregister of the WK on 11 December 1636 (WK 5073/789).
