Jacob Leisler (c. 1640 – May 16, 1691) was a German-born colonist who served as a politician in the Province of New York. He gained wealth in New Amsterdam (later New York City) in the fur trade and tobacco business. In what became known as Leisler's Rebellion following the English Revolution of 1688, he took control of the city, and ultimately the entire province, from appointees of deposed King James II, in the name of the Protestant accession of William III and Mary II.

  • Jacob Leisler (c. 1640 – May 16, 1691) was a German-born colonist who served as a politician in the Province of New York. He gained wealth in New Amsterdam (later New York City) in the fur trade and tobacco business. In what became known as Leisler's Rebellion following the English Revolution of 1688, he took control of the city, and ultimately the entire province, from appointees of deposed King James II, in the name of the Protestant accession of William III and Mary II. Beginning in 1689, Leisler led an insurrection and seized control of the city by taking over Fort James at the lower end of Manhattan. He took over control of the entire province, appointing himself as acting Lieutenant Governor of the Province of New York, which he retained until March 1691, refusing to yield power until the newly appointed governor himself finally arrived. While Leisler claimed to have acted to support the Protestant accession against Jacobite officeholders in New York, he was arrested by the newly appointed governor of New York in March 1691. With opponents active against him, he was condemned and executed in New York City for treason against the English monarchs William III and Mary II. His estate was forfeited to the Crown. During his period of control, Leisler completed a major purchase of property from Sir John Pell, Lord of Pelham Manor, to set up a French Huguenot settlement north of Manhattan. This developed as the city of New Rochelle, New York. Leisler's son and supporters found the trial and conviction most unjust; it was mounted by his enemies. They worked to clear the names of Leisler and Jacob Milborne (his son in law) and for the restoration of their estates to their heirs, which was achieved in 1695 by an act of Parliament. Remains of the two men were reinterred with honors at the Dutch Reformed Church in Manhattan. (en)

  • Jacob Leisler (Francoforte sul Meno, 1640 – New York, 16 maggio 1691) è stato un mercante, rivoluzionario e politico tedesco. Mercante di successo, emigrato nella colonia olandese dei Nuovi Paesi Bassi nel 1660, Leisler comandò nel 1689 una rivolta (che da lui prese il nome di ribellione di Leisler) contro la dominazione degli Inglesi, che avevano assunto il controllo dei Nuovi Paesi Bassi 25 anni prima. Iniziate nella primavera, le lotte lo portarono all'elezione a luogotenente generale della colonia; il governo rivoluzionario da lui instaurato durò circa due anni, fino al 1691, durante i quali, fra le altre cose, convocò il primo congresso intercoloniale della storia delle terre che sarebbero poi diventate gli Stati Uniti d'America. Nel marzo del 1691 alcuni reparti inglesi, al comando del maggiore , iniziarono le lotte per reimpadronirsi della colonia, che portarono ad una loro rapida vittoria. Leisler, arresosi, fu processato per tradimento e giustiziato a New York il 16 maggio 1691. (it)
