Willem de Snyder (Willem Snyders), an Anabaptist martyr, burned at the stake on 18 May 1570 (Van Braght's Martyr's Mirror has 3 May 1568), near Bruges, Belgium. Verheyden has published a number of particulars on a group of Anabaptists captured while holding a meeting on Ascension Day, 4 May 1570, in the woods of Tillegem near Bruges. Among those arrested were Willem de Snyder and his wife Christijntgen. Willem, whose official name was Willem Vernon, was born at Dixmuiden and was a citizen of Bruges. He was a wood carver. Before the judges he declared that he had been a member of the church for six years. Though he was cruelly tortured, he refused to recant or to name other members of the Bruges congregation. He was executed with Karel (Kaerle de Raed) and Hansken in't Schaeck at Tillegem. His wife suffered martyrdom a few days later.
