Amid the tumult of the 16th century, two pensionaries, Gilbert van Schoonbeke and Pensionary Jacob Maes, sought refuge in the City Hall, their heads bowed as they navigated the treacherous waters of Dutch politics. In a time of unrest, these esteemed figures held steadfast to their duties, much like their successors Johan de Witt and Pieter van Bleiswijk, who would later lead with unwavering resolve. Simon Van Slingelandt, a prominent pensionary, graced the pages of history alongside Johan de Brune and Albert Joachimi, their portraits a testament to their influence. Michiel ten Hove's coat of arms, proudly displayed, symbolized the power and prestige of the pensionary office. Through it all, Rombout Hogerbeets, another dedicated pensionary, stood strong, his legacy etched in the annals of Dutch history.
