Aeltgen (or Alijdt) Wouters, of Asperen, an Anabaptist martyr, was drowned at Amsterdam on 21 May 1535 (Martyrs Mirror incorrectly says 15 May), because she had been rebaptized (by Gherijt Ghijsen of Benschop) and had joined the "sect and heresy of the Anabaptists." On the same day ten other women, along with Aeltgen, were subjected to the cruel death of drowning. Aeltgen was one of the group who had gone from Amsterdam to Bergklooster.
