Portrait of Joost de Zoete (?-1589), Lord of Villers, Jan Antonisz van Ravesteyn (workshop of), c. 1609 - c. 1633
The Leeuwarden Series: Commanders-in-Chief of the Forces of the States-General A member of a noble Flemish family, Joost de Zoete early on supported the Nassau cause. In 1576, he commanded a company of 50 mounted arquebusiers. Two years later, in 1578, the Dutch defeat at Gemblours resulted in the loss of Nivelles, where he had been governor. He distinguished himself in 1580, when he held the town of Bouchout against an attack from Spanish sympathizers. In the following year, he was made a field marshal, and in 1584 was appointed Stadholder of Utrecht. Not long afterwards he was defeated at Amerongen by the Spanish troops under the command of Juan Battista Taxis. The wounded field marshal was imprisoned, and not released until 1587, two years before his death.43 The prototype has not been located.
