Fransoois de Timmerman (d. 1569)
Fransoois (Fransoys) de Timmerman (in van Braght, <em>Martyrs’ Mirror</em>, called François), an Anabaptist martyr living at Meenen (Menin) in Flanders, was arrested there with five others. They were all sentenced to death and executed by being burned at the stake at Kortrijk (Courtrai) in Flanders, Belgium on 30 April 1569. Fransoois had been (re)baptized in 1562 or 1563. The other five were Jan Wattier, Pieter den Ouden (or Oudeghodt), Jan van Raes, Wouter Denijs, and Kalleken, the widow of the martyr Anpleunis vanden Berghe. They all remained loyal to their faith. Their goods were confiscated.
