Hochepied was born in Smyrna on 6 January 1706. He was the son of Clara Catharina Colyer (1657–1733)[1] and Daniël Johan de Hochepied, 1st Baron de Hochepied (1657–1723), who was Dutch Consul at Smyrna, from 1688 to 1723. Among his siblings were Justinus Constantinus de Hochepied,[2] Jacobus Byzantinus de Hochepied (who married Margarita Constantia van der Wielen), Daniël Alexander, Count de Hochepied (wife of Catherine Frémeaux),[3] Petronella Jacoba de Hochepied (who married Gaspard de Fontenu),[4] and Gertrude de Hochepied (wife of John Cooke, English Consul at Smyrna).[5]

His maternal grandparents were Maria Engelbert and Justinus Colyer, the Dutch Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire from 1668 to 1782 (who was a half-brother to Sir Alexander Colyear, 1st Baronet).[6] His uncle, Jacobus Colyer, was also the Dutch Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. His paternal grandparents were Geertruyd Spiegel and silk merchant Jan Baptista Bathiste de Hochepied, burgher of Amsterdam.[7] His uncle, Jan Baptista de Hochepied, married Agneta de Graeff, a daughter of Pieter de Graeff,[8] republican minded aristocrat and Amsterdam regent, president-bewindhebber of the VOC and brother-in-law of Grand Pensionary Johan de Witt.

Career[edit]

The title of Baron and Magnate was conferred on his father, with limitation to his issue, by letters patent of Leopold I, Holy Roman Emperor, under the great seal of the Kingdom of Hungary, given at Vienna, at the 8th April 1704.[9]

In 1747, he succeeded Cornelis Calkoen to become the Dutch Ambassador to the Ottoman Empire. Hochepied served under stadtholders William IV (from 1747 to 1751) and William V (from 1751 to 1763) during the reign of sultans Mahmud I (from 1747 to 1754), Osman III (from 1754 to 1757), and Mustafa III (from 1757 to 1763).[10]
