Dutch Admiral: Mooy Lambert

Lambert Hendrickszoon's nickname was Mooy Lambert. He was born in Tiel about 1550. He died in Rotterdam on 17 March 1625. He was perhaps most famous for the Battle near Gibraltar in 1607. He eventually died from wounds during a battle with Dunkirk privateers. He served the Admiralty of the Maze (Rotterdam). He was promoted to captain in 1592. In 1607, he was appointed as a temporary Schout-bij-Nacht. In May 1624, he was promoted to Vice-Admiral. He was about 74 years old at the time. This is from my translation of the entry in Luc Eekhout's Het Admiralenboek.
