Life

Lambert was born in Mechelen on 8 August 1542, the son of Adrien van der Burch. He became a canon of St. Mary's Church, Utrecht in 1555, and on 9 December 1578 was appointed dean of the chapter.[1]

He sat in the States of Utrecht until 1582, when he was excluded as a Catholic. After a long exile in the Duchy of Cleves he returned to Utrecht, where he was appointed scholaster in 1605.[1] He died in Utrecht on 17 August 1617.[1]
