Maeyken Wouters (Wauters, Wolters), an [[Anabaptism|Anabaptist]] martyr, drowned at [[Liège (Liège, Belgium)|Liege]] (Luik) in [[Belgium|Belgium]], together with [[Aeltjen Baten (d. 1593)|Aeltjen Baten]]. On the same day they were thrown from a bridge into the Maas River. According to [[Braght, Tieleman Jansz van (1625-1664)|van Braght]] this happened on 24 July 1595 after the women had stayed in prison for ten weeks. The statement of Daris (Bax II, 344) that the execution took place on 29 October 1593 is not very tenable, since Maeyken's letter is dated 1595. Aeltgen was a rather aged woman, Maeyken rather young and unmarried. Both were natives of Zonhoven in the territory of Vogelsanck, Belgian province of Limburg. The accurate and detailed account in the [[Martyrs' Mirror|Martyrs' Mirror]] portrays their firm faith in trial and even in torture. In prison Maeyken wrote a letter to her parents and further to "all the believ ers (i.e., members of the congregation) and all who love the truth." These martyrs are celebrated in the hymn "Voorwaer 't dient niet versweghen, dees werelts blintheyt groot" (The great blindness of this world should not be concealed) found in [[Veelderhande Liedekens|Veelderhande Liedekens]] of Lenaerdt Clock (Haarlem, 1598) and other Dutch hymnals.
