Pieter Marteen Coy, also Pieter Martensz Coy or Pedr Marteen (died 1628), was a 17th-century diplomat of the Netherlands, active in Morocco. When young, Pieter Marteen Coy was captured by the Turks and imprisoned as a slave in Algiers. It was there that he learned to speak Turkish.〔"Pieter Martensz Coy, one time (1605-1609) envoy to Morocco and a young Turkish- speaking ex-slave in Algiers, now a resident of Hoorn" in ''The Ottoman Empire and the Dutch Republic: a history of the earliest diplomatic relations, 1610-1630'' Alexander H. de Groot Nederlands Historisch-Archaeologisch Instituut Leiden/Istanbul, 1978 ISBN 978-90-6258-043-9 p.128〕 Eventually – unbeknownst whether set free or escaped from captivity – he managed to return to the Netherlands, where he then resided in Hoorn. In April–May 1605, Pieter Marteen Coy went from the Low Countries to Safi in Morocco and Algiers accompanied by 135 Muslim captives, both Turkish and Moorish, who had been seized by the Dutch in the Low Countries in a naval encounter with Spanish galleys.〔 This event led to a first Dutch mission to Morocco led by Pieter Marteen Coy.〔''The Ottoman Empire and the Dutch Republic: a history of the earliest diplomatic relations, 1610-1630'' Alexander H. de Groot Nederlands Historisch-Archaeologisch Instituut Leiden/Istanbul, 1978 ISBN 978-90-6258-043-9 p.96〕 From 1605, Coy became representative of the States General in Marrakesh.〔(''In the lands of the Christians: Arabic travel writing in the seventeenth century'' by Nabil I. Matar p.44 Notes 38-39 )〕〔 In 1607 however, he was imprisoned by the Moroccan Sultan Mulay Zidan, following an incident in which Dutch pirates attacked English shipping.〔 He was released on July 18, 1607, with the help of a local secretary to the Sultan, Al-Hajari.〔〔(''In the lands of the Christians: Arabic travel writing in the seventeenth century'' by Nabil I. Matar p.35''ff'' )〕 Pieter Marteen Coy was recalled to the Netherlands on December 13, 1607.〔 He met the Moroccan envoy to the Netherlands Al-Hajari in La Hague in 1613, as recounted by the latter in his 1641 book ''The Book of the Protector of Religion against the Unbelievers''.〔 Pieter Marteen Coy arranged the encounter of Al-Hajari with Maurice of Nassau in 1613.〔 Coy was again nominated Dutch Consul in Algiers from 1626, where he succeeded Keyser, until his death in 1628.〔''The Ottoman Empire and the Dutch Republic: a history of the earliest diplomatic relations, 1610-1630'' Alexander H. de Groot Nederlands Historisch-Archaeologisch Instituut Leiden/Istanbul, 1978 ISBN 978-90-6258-043-9 p.217〕 He died in Algiers. ==See also== *Morocco-Netherlands relations 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pieter Marteen Coy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
