Biography
His parents moved from Antwerp, then in the Southern Netherlands, to Cologne in 1587. This was apparently for religious regions, since they were Baptists, and the Dutch Revolt against their Spanish sovereign had resulted in the Fall of Antwerp; since 1585 the town was in Spanish hands, bringing Catholic dominance and, in its wake, the departure of countless dissidents to the Northern Netherlands.
While Vondel was born in Cologne, his parents soon [when?] moved to Utrecht, where young Joost attended school.
