- W4283376357 abstract "Rijckloff Volckertsz. van Goens sailed to Batavia with his parents as a child, arriving in July 1629. Orphaned shortly after arriving in Java, he would rise through the VOC’s ranks until he departed for the Netherlands in 1654 in the honorable position of commander of the homeward bound fleet. The successful career of an orphan in the Company shows how a career in the VOC could be a vehicle for upwards social mobility. But it also underlines the importance of patronage and patrimonialism. The marriage of Van Goens to an older widow fits a broader pattern of intra-company marriage ties. The links forged through his marriage sustained his advancement through the Company’s ranks. Throughout this period, Van Goens gained experience as a merchant, diplomat, and soldier. This diverse set of experiences allowed Van Goens to act as a credible interlocutor for the directors when he arrived in the Netherlands in 1655. The direct connections forged with the company directors were instrumental for his return to Asia the next year." @default.
