Claes Jansz Brongers, an Anabaptist martyr, was beheaded 1 June 1549, at Leeuwarden, Dutch province of Friesland, because he had received Menno Simons in his house about six weeks before his death and had invited him to stay. Furthermore, he possessed books written by Menno Simons, which he distributed. Above all, he had attended the meetings of the Mennonites for many years.
