Henri van der Noot, in Dutch Hendrik van der Noot,[1] and popularly called Heintje van der Noot or Vader Heintje (7 January 1731 – 12 January 1827), was a jurist, lawyer and politician from Brabant. He was one of the main figures of the Brabant Revolution[2][3] (1789–1790) against the Imperial rule of Joseph II. This revolution led to the short-lived existence of the United States of Belgium with himself as President of the National Congress[4][5] (11 January 1790 – 2 December 1790).
