Derich Born (1510?->1549)

View through Europeana Collections
Derich Born (1509/10-after 1549) was a merchant from Cologne. In 1536 he supplied Henry VIII's armourer, Erasmus Kyrkener, with military equipment for the suppression of the Northern Rebellion. However, in 1541 he and his elder brother were expelled from the London Steelyard (the walled area where the Hanseatic merchants resided and did business) after a dispute with the Duke of Suffolk concerning payment for a consignment of lead. Born is documented in Antwerp in 1542 and 1543, and last recorded in 1549, when he submitted a formal complaint about his expulsion while in Cologne. This is one of a group of seven surviving portraits of German merchants by Holbein (1497/8-1543) all painted c.1532-3 and perhaps intended to be sent home to the sitters' families.
