Relations between the Dutch and English trading…
November 1622 CE
Relations between the Dutch and English trading companies remain tense despite the treaty.
Both parties have developed numerous grievances against each other about bad faith, non-performance of treaty-obligations, and "underhand" attempts to undercut each other in the relations with the indigenous rulers with whom they deal.
In the Amboina region, local VOC governor Herman van Speult has trouble in late 1622 with the Sultan of Ternate, who shows signs of intending to switch allegiance to the Spanish.
Van Speult suspects the English of secretly stirring up these troubles.
