Wicquefort, Abraham de

Abraham de Wicquefort (Dutch: Abraham van Wickevoort; 1606 in Amsterdam - 1682 in Celle) was a Dutch diplomat.
Between 1626 and 1658 he represented Brandenburg at the French court, but Cardinal Mazarin imprisoned him in the Bastille as a result of a suspicious exchange of letters. He was released after one year, was given a French pension and settled in the Hague as the representative of the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg. In 1675 he was put in prison by the Dutch government for treasonous relations with the French. He was given a life-time sentence and his property was confiscated. However, he managed to escape to Celle where he died.
