Jan van Delft (d. 1531)
Jan van Delft, of Amsterdam, a fuller, was one of the first Anabaptists in the Netherlands. With nine others he was arrested and sentenced to death because of heresy and rebaptism. Like most of this group, Jan recanted. He was beheaded at The Hague on 5 December 1531. The other victims were Jan Volkertsz (Trypmaker); Evert Jansz, a cobbler from Coesfeld in the territory of Münster, Germany; Frans Willems; Gerrit (Geryt) Meynerts, a goldsmith; Jan Hermansz (Lange Jan Houtstapelaer), born at Haarlem; Jan Gouweszn, a fuller; Thomas Janszn; Jan Thomaszn; and Vranck Willemszn.)
