Isaac Dorislaus

Isaac Dorislaus (1595-1649) was a Dutch lawyer, born at Alkmaar, in Holland. He came to England, and was appointed Judge-Advocate, and acted as such at King Charles's trial, and was for that latter offence assassinated at the Hague one evening by certain high-flying Royalist cut-throats, Scotch several of them. "His portrait represents him as a man of heavy, deep-wrinkled, elephantine countenance, pressed down by the labours of life and law".
