Commentary	On 3 August 1591, Jean de Tronquoy, from Namen (Namur), 35 years old, living with Doctor Silla, was betrothed to Margaret de Bruijn, from Brussels, assisted by her father Denijs de Bruijne and her mother Maycken Etterbeeck (DTB 406/59). He remarried with Aachie Bremans on 25 November 1616. In 1631, Jan Torcquoij, living int Princehoff near the N.Z. Westerburchwal, paid a tax of 5 f. (Kohier, fol. 243vo, p. 56). In September (?) 1633 (exact date illegible), Jan Tronquoy, deurwaerder of the Admiralty, named Jasper Brant to represent him before the Commissary for Small Affairs (NA 372, fol. 139, Not. W. Cluyt). It is not clear whether Jean Tronquoi, the husband of Aachie Bremans, is identical with Jan Denijs Tronqois, the son of Maria Deymans de Jonge, who had his portrait painted by Jan Lievens, according to a deposition dated 30 April 1682.The portrait would have been painted some time between 1652 and 1666 when Lievens was in Amsterdam (Bredius, Künstler-inventare, p. 201-202).
