- The Hollandsche Societiet van Levensverzekeringen, founded in 1807 by Antoni Hartsen, issued its first policy on the life of Lady Engeltje Nagel for 50,000 guilders. In 1808, the company refused an application for a policy on the life of the Emperor Napoleon by a third party, considering it simply a wager policy on the life of a "crowned person".
