Jacob Taets van Amerongen was a land commander of the Utrecht-based order of Teutonic Knights in what are now the Netherlands.
He made the pilgrimage to the Holy Land as a young man. He became commander of the order at a time when Protestants were gaining control of northern Europe.
He managed to resist demands to dissolve the order and use its property for charity.
Soon after his death the order became a Protestant organization.
