Maeyken Floris (Flours), an Anabaptist martyr, burned at the stake at Ghent, Belgium, on 7 August 1559. Van Braght's account, which follows the account in the Offer des Heeren, is incorrect. He states that Maeyken was executed with 11 co-martyrs and does not relate the exact date of the execution. Maeyken was a native of Nukerke (Nypkerke, Nieppe) in Flanders. She was one of a group of 12 Mennonites whose stay had been reported to the magistrates by treachery, and who were all apprehended. Baudin (Baudynken), Maeyken's 12-year-old sister, was also examined; but notwithstanding the severe threats of the officers, she resolutely refused to reveal the place where her parents were staying. Of the group arrested four victims were burned on 5 July, and six more, including Maeyken, on 7 August. Two members either escaped or abjured their faith. Maeyken died steadfast. The execution took place on the Vrijdagsmarkt at seven o'clock in the morning.
Maeyken and the other martyrs are commemorated in a hymn, "Ic moet een liet beginnen" (I must begin a song), No. 14 of the Lietboecxken van den Offer des Heeren; this hymn is also found in the Nieu Liedenboeck of 1562. Another hymn, "Een eeuwighe vruecht, die nieten vergaet" (An eternal joy, which does not pass away), is found in Veelderhande Liedekens of 1569. This hymn is more accurate than that of the Lietboecxken; it also gives the information that the group of 12 Mennonites was betrayed to the attorney-general of Ghent by a Beguine, and that they were apprehended that very evening while they were eating together.
See Anthonis van Cassele (d. 1559) for a list of the persons seized.
