Jeronimus Cornelisz
Jeronimus Cornelisz (c. 1598 – 2 October 1629), ("Cornelisz" being the standard Dutch abbreviation for "Corneliszoon") was a Dutch apothecary and Dutch East India Company merchant and mass murderer who sailed aboard the merchant ship Batavia which foundered near the Australian mainland. After the ship was wrecked in the Houtman Abrolhos, a chain of coral islands off the west coast of Australia, on 4 June 1629, Francisco Pelsaert, the expedition's commander, went to get help from the settlements in the Dutch East Indies, returning several months later. While Pelsaert was away, Cornelisz led one of the bloodiest mutinies in history, for which he was eventually tried, convicted and hanged.
