| | Jacob van Wassenaer Obdam - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Jacob, Banner Lord of Wassenaer, Lord Obdam, Hensbroek, Spanbroek, Opmeer, Zuidwijk and Kernhem (1610 – 13 June 1665) was a Dutch Lieutenant-Admiral, and supreme commander of the confederate Dutch navy. |
 | | The name Obdam was then also spelled as Opdam and the British contemporaneous sources most often refer to him as Admiral Opdam, as he bought only in 1657 the Estate Wassenaar from family and therefore was first known to them as Lord Obdam. |
 | | Jacob was born in 1610, the eldest son of Lieutenant-Admiral Jacob van Wassenaer Duivenvoorde. |
