Diederik Jansz Graeff, also Dirk Jansz Graeff, Lord of the manor Vredenhof (Amsterdam 1532〔Nederland's Adelsboek (1993), deel 83, p 429〕 – Jul 27 1589), first illustrious member of the De Graeff family, was a rich merchant, ship-owner and politician. Diederik Graeff was also the founder of a regent dynastie of the Dutch Golden Age 〔Israel, J. (1995) The Dutch Republic, Its Rise, Greatness, and Fall 1477-1806, p. 159./〕 and the short time of the First Stadtholderless Period that retained power and influence for centuries and produced a number of ministers. He was the first Mayor of Amsterdam from the De Graeff family.〔Biographie of Dirk Jansz. Graeff in the DBNL〕 ==Family De Graeff== During the Dutch Golden Age, the De Graeff family were very critical of the Orange family’s influence in the Netherlands. Together with the Republican-minded family Bicker, the De Graeffs strived for the abolition of stadtholdership. They desired the full sovereignty of the individual regions in which the Republic of the United Seven Netherlands were not ruled by a single person. Instead of a sovereign (or stadtholder) the political and military power was lodged with the States General and with the regents of the cities in Holland.〔(Triomf der Vrede (nl) )〕 Diederik Jansz. Graeffs parents were Jan Pietersz Graeff, a rich cloth merchant and advisor of Amsterdam, and ''Stein Braseman''.〔(Stamboom Ocken » Dirck Janzn Graeff )〕 His older brother was Lenaert Jansz de Graeff, perhaps ident with "Monseigneur de Graeff", a captain of the Sea Beggars in the Capture of Brielle. Diederik was married to Agnies Pietresdr van Neck. Among their children were: * Weyntje Dircksz (de) Graeff - married to Jacob Boelens Loen * Jan Dirksz Graeff (?-1627) lived and died at his Landhouse ''Vredenhof'' near Voorschoten; * Jacob Dircksz de Graeff (1570–1638) - Regent of Amsterdam, Lord of the semisouveain Lordship Zuid-Polsbroek etc. * Pieter Dircksz Graeff (1573–1645) - since 1620 ''Lord of Engelenburg'',〔http://www.engelenburg.com/〕 near Brummen and advisor of the city of Amsterdam. Pieter drives in 1613 to Palestina and visited the Holy Grave in Jerusalem. He lives at the ''Fluweelenburgwal'' at Amsterdam. * Cornelis Dircksz Graeff - schepen van Dorp; married with N. N.
