Hansken in't Schaek (Hans Schaek, or Koorde-drayer), an Anabaptist martyr, burned at the stake on 18 May 1570, at Brugge, Belgium. Hansken, who was born at Kortrijk, Flanders, was a member of the congregation at Brugge; while attending a meeting of this congregation on Ascension Day (4 May), 1570, in the woods of Tillegem near Brugge, he was arrested with a number of other members during a police raid. He remained stead­fast and refused to name other members of the church, and consequently had to suffer death. He was executed with Kaerle de Raedt and Willem Vernon.
