Commentary	The sugar refiner Hans de l'Hommel II was the son of Hans l'Hommel I, who fled Antwerp in or about 1585 and died in 1597. The son was born in Antwerp and was first noted in Amsterdam in 1592 (Gelderblom, Zuid-Nederlandse kooplieden, p. 306). He was betrothed to Judith Cobbaut, the daughter of Arnout Cobbaut II and of Anna van Valckenburg (R 21250), on 2 March 1617 (R 31898 of Montias2). He was the brother-in-law of Govert van Arckel of R 31898. Already in 1595, Hans de l'Hommel II was an important sugar refiner in Hamburg. He had an account for 19,000 marks at the Hamburg Wisselbank in 1619. Godefridt van Erckel (of R 31898 of Montias2) invested 3,000 f. in the first subscription for V.O.C. shares on his behalf. He lived in a fine house in Hamburg with a ceiling painted by Hans Vredemans de Vries. Johan de l'Hommel (Hans de l'Hommel II), sugar refiner on the Binnen Amstel, signed a contract on 5 August 1631 with a number of brandywine distillers (Van Dillen, Het oudste aandeelhoudersregister, p. 182). On Hans de l'Hommel (II), see also Van Dillen, Bronnen tot de geschiedenis van het bedrijfsleven R.G.P., 78(1933), p. 771).
