Harsh sentences given to officers after the Battle of Scheveningen

Further courtmartials were held after the Battle of Scheveningen. Captain Adriaan Houttuyn of the Admiralty of the Noorderkwartier was initially sentenced to be keel-hauled three times and then imprisoned for life. Hendrick Hey, the lieutenant of Captain Streeck, was also sentenced to be keel-hauled three times and then imprisoned for 20 years. Captain Peereboom, of the Admiralty of the Noorderkwartier, was sentenced to be imprisoned for 4 years and the lieutenant of the Captain Huyskens (of the Admiralty of Amsterdam), Anthony Fappenthey, was sentenced to three years. Captain Oly (who we know served the Monnikendam Directors), was sentenced to having his sword broken at his feet, and to be kicked. This is derived from information from Dr. Elias, which I attempted to translate. If needbe, I will make corrections. We have further information about men and ships. Adriaan Houttuyn, who commanded the Kasteel van Medemblik (28 guns), continued in the service of the Admiralty of the Noorderkwartier into the Second Anglo-Dutch War. He obviously was not imprisoned, after all. Hendrick Claesz. van der Streeck commanded the Amsterdam Directors' ship Blauwe Arend (28 guns) at the Battle of Scheveningen. Hendrick Huyskens had commanded the Westfriesland (28 guns) through the First Anglo-Dutch War. He continued in the service through 1658, at least. Tijs Tijmensz. Peereboom had commanded the ship named for him (the Peereboom, 24 guns) through most of the First Ango-Dutch War, including the Battle of Scheveningen. We are reasonably sure that he and the lieutenants were punished. Anthony Fappenthey probably was the actual commander of the Blauwe Arend at Scheveningen, as he was mentioned as the commander by Michiel De Ruyter, in his instructions prior to the battle. Sources:
