Hove, Pieter ten (16th century)
Van Braght's Martyrs' Mirrorrelates that Pieter (Peter) ten Hove, Huybert op der Straten, and two women, Trijnken, Huybert's wife, and Lijsken of Linschoten, were arrested, whipped, and expelled from Wittgenstein, Germany, by Johann, Count of Steyn. This account is, however, not clear. First it is rather strange that these four Mennonites with their typical Dutch names were living in Germany, but secondly, as Crous has indicated, Count Johann of Wittgenstein died in 1551 and the ruler in 1601 was Count Ludwig the Older, who with the aid of Olivianus gradually Calvinized the duchy.
