Gerbrand Adriaensz Bredero (March 16, 1585Citation | year= 1985 | editor-last= Schenkeveld van der Dussen | editor-first= Maria | title= Bredero | place= Groningen | publisher= Wolters-Noordhoff | pages= 7,8,30 | isbn = 9789001779900 ] - August 23, 1618 ) was a Dutch poet and playwright in the period known as the Dutch Golden Age.

Life

In 1585 Bredero was born in Amsterdam, where he lived his whole life. He called himself "G.A. Bredero, Amstelredammer", and sometimes he is called "Breero" or "Brederode". He was the third child of Marry Gerbrants and Adriaen Cornelisz. Bredero, who was a shoemaker and a successful real estate agent. Bredero was born in the "Nes", nowadays number 41, and in 1602 he and his family moved to a house on "Oudezijds Voorburgwal", now number 244, which his father had bought. Bredero lived in this house for the rest of his life. Both houses are now restaurants.

At school Bredero learned French and possibly also some English and Latin. Later he was educated as an artist by the Antwerp painter Francesco Badens, but none of his paintings have survived. In 1611 he became a member of the "rederijkerskamer" "d'Eglantier", where he was an active member and became friends with Roemer Visscher and P.C.Hooft. Together with Hooft he joined Costers "Nederduytsche Academie". Around this time he wrote the play "De Spaanschen Brabander Ierolimo".

The only public position Bredero achieved was as "vaandrig" or standard bearer of the civic guard. In the year 1618, at the age of 33, Bredero suddenly died, shortly after he had recovered from pneumonia that he had contracted after falling through ice. He never married.
