Pieter Jansz (Peter Janssen), an Anabaptist mar­tyr who had been baptized by Gillis van Aken, was burned at the stake on 20 March 1549, at Amsterdam with seven other martyrs. He was a native of "Lininckhuysen" (Lüdinghausen in the bishopric of Münster, Westphalia?), a shoe­maker by trade. His wife Trijnken van Dorsten was executed on 15 January, 1550. Pieter and his comartyrs are commemorated in the hymn "Tis nu schier al/vervult ons broeders getal" (The num­ber of our brethren is now nearly complete), found in the Dutch hymnal Veelderhande Liedekens of 1556 and following editions.
