Barbele (Barberken) Pieters, an Anabaptist martyr, was executed on 19 July 1576 at Ghent in Belgium, with Lippijntgen Roetsaerts and Kreupel Sijntgen. These three women were beheaded rather than drowned, as was the general practice for the execution of women heretics. The reason for changing to this method is not known. These women were not executed in public but inside the Gravenkasteel (castle of the counts). Barbele came from Flerten near Weert, Dutch province of Limburg. She had been rebaptized by Jans Heuvebreiere. Van Braght did not possess these details and set the date of her death "about the year 1573." Barbele was married to Michiel Willems (Michiel van Brüssel), who on the same day that his wife was beheaded was burned at the stake in Ghent.
