Jan van Reenen (16th century)
Jan van Reenen, a heretic in Amsterdam, who gave the Inquisition much to do, was very active in revolutionary Anabaptist circles of Amsterdam, though he denied (November 1534) that he was an Anabaptist himself. His wife Leentgen and his daughters Adriana and Lysbeth died as Anabaptist martyrs.
