Claerken, an Anabaptist martyr, whose official name was Clairette Boucket, or Bocquette, wife of the martyr Maerten de Wael (Martin le Josne), was secretly executed on 6 July 1557 in the Steen prison in Antwerp, by being drowned in a sack, together with Margrite Venneau (see Margriete, Jeroons huysvrou) and Janneken op Dextelaer. After they were put to death, their naked bodies were thrown into the Scheide River. In the song, "Liedeken van 72 Vrienden" (Claerken's name is listed as No. 22), it is said of these women:
Op den Steen verdroncken, siet openbaer,
Int Schelt geworpen daer naer,
Daer heeft men se sien drijven
Opt water, met schoone witte lijven.
This song is included in the Liedtboecxken van den Offer des Heeren (No. 16).
