“33. Jan van Wesenbeke (+/- 1547? – after 1594) *** Felix Archief, Antwerp ‘Kronijk van Jan van Wesenbeke’, 1567-1580 ms PK 108. Jan van Wesenbeke was a Lutheran lawyer in Antwerp. He and his brother Peter went to Orléans to study the law in 1567. They are also mentioned in a list of students in Heidelberg. Jan van Wesenbeke probably returned to Antwerp after his studies, where he began keeping a chronicle on almost a daily basis. He did not only record the news he heard, but also reflected on its credibility and tried to interpret the reports. The chronicle shows how news about major battles and sieges in France rapidly reached the larger towns of Southern Netherlands and how eagerly its citizens discussed the reports. Leaving Antwerp after 1585 with his family, Jan went to Frankfurt, where he is mentioned in the city records in 1594 as a citizen and a notary.”1
Jan van Wesenbeke moet niet worden verward met Jacob van Wesenbeke, die werkte voor Oranje en een beroemde geschiedenis van de opstand schreef
