= Interesting document, signed by the famous Dutch admiral Michiel Adriaansz de Ruyter, concerning the price received for the French ship Régine. The ship was captured from the French by Michiel de Ruyter in the year 1657. Its captain Lalande and his crew were put ashore in Barcelona, whilst de Ruyter kept the ship. Instead of sending the Régine to the Netherlands, he sold her for 10.000 realen to the Duke of Medina Celi. The capture of the ship caused a lot of commotion and almost resulted in a war between France and the Dutch Republic. In order to conciliate both parties De Ruyter had to buy the Régine back from the Duke of Medina Celi. (See: Ronald Prud'homme van Reine, Rechterhand van Nederland (Amst., 1996), p. 98-99).
