Dutch Naval Officer: Cornelis Simonszoon Loncque

Cornelis Simonszoon Loncque was born in 1545 and died at Vlissingen on 24 September 1619. He commanded the squadron on the Flanders coast from 1586 until 1588, and again in 1589. He served the Admiralty of Zeeland. He was appointed captain on 8 October 1577. From 20 October 1586 until 13 October 1588, he was a temporary Vice-Admiral. Again, from 3 April 1589 until 1 December 1589, he again served as a temporary Vice-Admiral. This is from my translation of the piece in Luc Eekhout's Het Admiralenboek. I would add that it is noteworthy that Cornelis Loncque served during the Armada campaign in 1588, when the Dutch collaborated with the English in fighting the Spanish Armada.
