Biography:
Probably family relation with the famous count Lamoraal van Egmont who was beheaded at the start of the Eighty Years War in 1568, or even this count himself.

This name appears in the correspondence of Carolus Clusius. This could be the famous count who was beheaded with the count of Horne (1522-1568). This was a supporter of William I, Prince of Orange, and he was married to Sabine van Bayern. However, the letters he sent to Clusius are undated, and they are mainly short notes of greeting and thanks, for instance for received flowers. Therefore, he could also be the son of the count, with the same name. He might also be the same person befriended to Marie de Brimeu: comte d'Egmont (who was certainly not the beheaded count).

Biography:
Jan van der Heyden was a painter and an inventor. In 1671, he had and his brother Nicolaas received a patent for inventing (and possibly making) a scoop wheel and a tube pump. Earlier, he had already designed improved street lights for the city of Amsterdam. Additionally, Van der Heyden also developed an improved fire hose pump. In 1697, Tsar Peter the Great paid him a visit and tried to convince the inventor to move to Russia, but Van der Heyden refused. He did sell the Tsar several fire hose pumps. Van der Heyden lived in the Koestraat, near the Nieuwmarkt for over thirty years in the former Latin School of Amsterdam. Next to an inventor, he was also a renowned painter of landscapes. He travelled to many cities around Europe to paint cityscapes and sold one of his works to Cosimo III de Medici. Van der Heyden not only worked with his brother, his son, Jan van der Heyden the Younger, was also active in the company and would eventually succeed him.
