Guert Willems (d. 1558)
Guert Willems was put to death at Rotterdam in accord with the sentence of the Court of Holland of 21 April 1558 because he had assisted and liberated a Mennonite at Rotterdam who was to be executed there (see Jan Hendriks). Whether Guert Willems was a Mennonite or not cannot be decided.
