Peter Gael (Pieter Galen), an Anabaptist who after having participated in the revolt and the attack on Amsterdam city hall on 10-11 May, 1535, was put to death there in a very cruel way on 14 May 1535. He was typical of revolutionary Anabaptism. His confession contains important information concerning the extent and methods of revolutionary Anabaptism in the Netherlands (Holland). He revealed that this group wore a white ribbon on an arm and that they would kill all those not wearing such a ribbon. He also stated that Jacob van Campen, the Anabaptist bishop of Amsterdam, did not agree with their practices and intentions. Peter Gail had been (re) baptized by Claes van Limmen, who is said to have been at Münster during Peter's trial.
