Maeyken, an Anabaptist martyr, was taken prisoner with Hans van Munstdorp, his wife, and two other women, as they had met to hear the Word of God, and imprisoned at Antwerp, Belgium. In September 1573 Hans van Munstdorp was burned at the stake. Since his wife was pregnant, the four women were not delivered to the stake until 6 October, after "they had valiantly withstood the many terrible threats, the arguments of the worldly learned men and other means used against them." Their death is mourned in the song, "Och vrienden al te samen hoort," included in the Rotterdamsch Liedboek (now lost). This martyr is apparently identical with Maeyken Goossens.
