Louis Verreycken (died 1621), lord of Hamme and Indervelde, was secretary of the Brussels Council of State and audiencier of the Brussels Privy Council.
Career
He was first appointed by Philip II of Spain on 4 May 1583, but rose to pre-eminence under Archduke Albert. Together with Jean Richardot he took part in the negotiations leading to the Peace of Vervins between France and the Habsburgs. In early 1600 he undertook a peace mission to England, but without immediate result.[1] He was also a member of the delegation that negotiated the Twelve Years' Truce of 1609–1621 between the Dutch Republic and the Habsburgs.
His will is dated 12 May 1620.
