Daniel van der Campt (or Vercampt, Verkampt), an Anabaptist martyr of Kortrijk(Courtrai), Belgium. He was a weaver and unmarried. After a cross-examination by the Inquisitor Pieter Titelman, the dean of Ronse, and by a certain Polet, he was burned in Kortrijk on 12 December 1559. Van Braght, Martyrs' Mirror, relates that Daniel's mother, who was still a Catholic, was also examined and threatened with severe punishment, because she had hidden her son, knowing that he was a heretic. But she said that he was an honest young man and not a thief or a rascal and that she had hidden him for maternal love. She defended herself so well that she was set free.
