Martha Baerts (d. 1560)
Martha Baerts, an Anabaptist martyr, was secretly beheaded on 20 November 1560 in the Gravensteen castle at Ghent, Belgium, with Soetken van den Houtte and Lynken Pieters. Martha was a native of Oudenaerde in Flanders. Van Braght's Martyrs' Mirror gives her name simply as Martha, and erroneously gives 27 November as the date of her death.
