Adriaen Pietersz (d. 1558)
Adriaen Pietersz (or A. Pier Trappers), an Anabaptist martyr, lived at Winkel in the Dutch province of North Holland. He was burned at the stake in the Hague on 7 July 1558, because he had taken part in Anabaptist meetings and intended to be rebaptized. He was thus not yet a member of the congregation. Waechlink Dirks and Maerten Cornelisz died with him.
