Rijklof van Goens, geboren te Rees in Kleef op 24 juni 1619, overleden te Amsterdam op 14 november 1682, kwam op 10 juli 1629 in Oost-Indië aan. Na een verblijf in Coromandel van 1631-1634, werd hij op 1 september 1634 assistent in de pakhuizen te Batavia, onderkoopman 1639, koopman 1642, opperkoopman 1645 en eerste opperkoopman van het kasteel 1651.
Als gezant ging hij in juli - december 1644 naar Palembang, Djambi en Djohor, in 1649/50 naar Siam en tussen 1649 en 1654 vijf maal naar de Soenan van Mataram. In 1649 werd hij lid van de Raad van Justitie, in 1650 geassumeerd lid van de Raad van Indië, in 1653 president van de Weeskamer, in 1654 raad-extraordinair. Op 20 september 1653 werd hij commissaris en commandeur naar Ceylon. In januari 1655 vertrok hij als admiraal van de retourvloot naar patria. Bij zijn terugkeer was hij in maart en april 1657 als commissaris aan de Kaap werkzaam. Van 1659-1672 was hij gouverneur van Ceylon, hierna admiraal en veldoverste op Ceylon, Malabar en Coromandel.
Als opvolger van Maetsuycker werd hij op 4 januari 1678 gouverneur-generaal. Op 15 november 1681 droeg hij deze functie over aan Cornelis Speelman. Op de thuisreis was hij in maart 1682 werkzaam als commissaris aan de Kaap.
Ryckloff van Goens, born at Rees in the Dukedom of Cleves in 1619, came out to the East at the early age of ten, having accompanied his father, Volckert Boyckes van Goens, who took service in the Netherlands East India Company as Commandant of a detachment of the army at Batavia. From his twelfth year, when he was appointed to serve under the Governor of the Coromandel Coast) up to date of his retirement, from the Governor-Generalship in 1681, Ryckloff van Goens had an unbroken period of fifty years in the
Company's service. His first connection with Ceylon was in 1653, when he was sent as Special Commissioner (Express Commissaris) and Commander of the naval and military forces to Ceylon, Vingurala, and the kingdom of Guzerat. His naval exploits against the Portuguese on the coast of India at this time are well-known events in history. Having afterwards visited the Fatherland and the Cape of Good Hope, he was appointed, in 1657, Commissioner, Superintendent, Admiral, and Commander of the sea and land forces on the coast of India, Coromandel, Surat, Ceylon, Bengal and Malacca. It was in this capacity that he accomplished the conquests of Tutucorin, Manaar, and Jaffnapatam. Two years later, viz., in 1659, he was appointed Commissioner to Ceylon, when he also obtained the rank and privileges of a Councillor in ordinary of the Council of India, In the following year, 1660, he received his appointment as Governor of Ceylon, which he held with two interruptions till April 12,1675, when he finally relinquished his post to his son Ryckloff van Goens, junior. He then, in the usual coarse of promotion, became Director-General of Netherlands India and First Member of, Council, and, on the retirement of Maatzuyker, was nominated Governor-General of the Indies, an office which he appears to have reluctantly accepted in 1678. As already stated, he resigned his post in 1681, and the following year he returned to Holland with his wife in 't Land van Schouwen, dying shortly afterwards (November 14, 1682) at Amsterdam. His body was removed to the Hague and buried there in the Kloosterkerk.
