Anpleunis vanden Berghe was, according to the Mennonitisches Lexikon, a Dutch nobleman, forced to leave his country estate and to wander, because he had permitted the Mennonites to preach on his estate and had lodged some fellow believers.

According to the records he was an agriculteur (farmer) born at Zwevegem in Flanders. He was imprisoned at Kortrijk in Flanders and declared that he had been a member of the Anabaptist congregation there for several years.
