Annetgen Symonsdocther (also called Anneken van Leiden) was an Anabaptist martyr, who, according to the Leiden Sententieboek (record of sentences), was condemned for heresy on 24 November 1552, and was drowned the same day at Leiden, in the Dutch province of South Holland. In a song composed about her and other martyrs, "Ick mach wel droellijck singen, In desen tijt van noot" (I well may sing with grief In this time of need) (Liedtboecxken van den Offer des Heeren, No. 6), it appears that at the time of the trial Annetgen spoke very freely concerning her belief. She was a young woman, unmarried, and not yet baptized. The inquisitors offered to release her if she would obediently return to the Roman fold, but Annetgen refused and spoke scoffingly that she in no sense wanted anything to do with the Catholic Church and its "bread-god" (brootgodt). She endured the grim ordeal of martyrdom with courage.
