Adriaen (VI) Adriaensz van Blijenburg was Lord of Naaldwijk. He studied law in Leiden (1643). He was member of the Dordrecht Vroedschap (1642–3, 1651–2) and Burgomaster (1656–8, 1676–7). He was also a member (1673–6) of the Raad van State and the Gecommitteerde Raden of Holland in the Zuiderkwartier. In 1666, Van Blijenburg was appointed as an adviser to plan the education of the young Prince of Orange. His friends include the humanist scholar and poet Nicolaas Heinsius who accompanied him on his Grand Tour (1646) to Italy. See: NNBW, vol. 4, col. 174.
Van Blijenburg corresponded with Theodorus Ryckius about Spinoza, see Ryckius. Adriaen was probably a relative of Spinoza’s correspondent Willem van Blijenbergh.
