Neelken Jacobs (Cornelia van Rommerswael), an Anabaptist martyr, drowned on 28 June 1559 at Antwerp, Belgium, after giving birth to a child. Neelken was married to Adriaen Pan, who suffered martyrdom in Antwerp on 18 June 1559.
They had formerly lived at Nijvele (Nivelles) in Flanders, but moved to Antwerp, where they were arrested. Their furniture was confiscated and publicly sold while they were in prison, even before they were sentenced. Neelken, who like her husband died steadfast, is commemorated in the hymn on Adriaen Pan, "Duysternis gaet van henen, wanneer dat licht coemt aen" (Darkness passes away when the light appears), found in Offer des Heeren. In Offer and following Dutch martyrs' books, including van Braght's Martyrs Mirror, this martyr is called simply Neelken (Neeltgen).
