Lynken Clercx (d. 1576)
Lynken Clercx (Lyntgen, "a young maiden") was an Anabaptist martyr, executed (manner unknown) on 28 January 1576 at Antwerp, Belgium, with Jenneken Pots. She had deviated from the Roman Catholic Church and though she had not yet been baptized upon her faith, she was eager to receive this baptism.
