Cornelis de Vlaming was Lord of Oudshoorn and Gnephoek. He was a member of the Amsterdam Schepenbank (1645). He was first bailiff of Amsterdam (1649–55) and city Burgomaster. He also was a member of the Council of State (1672–3). In 1668, the noted Dutch author Joost van den Vondel dedicated to De Vlaming his tragedy Feniciaansche of gebroeders van Thebe. In 1671, the poet and playwrighter Johan Antonides van der Goes dedicated to him his poem De Ystroom. See: NNBW, vol. 7, cols 1268–9; Elias, 1903–5, vol. 1, pp. 505–7, no. 181.
De Vlaming was involved in the dispute between Spinoza and Antonio Alvares. Two assistants of De Vlaming arrested Alvares and escorted him to a herberge (inn), called de Vier Hollanders (‘The Four Dutchmen’). See: Antonio Alvares.
