Bardes, Willem (16th century)

Willem Bardes, the police chief in Amsterdam in 1542, protected the Anabaptists, and was consequently imprisoned and died of the mistreatments he suffered. His son, also named Willem Bardes, likewise assisted the oppressed Anabaptists as far as he was able. According to Brandt, though Willem was not an Anabaptist, his wife was a member of the congregation.
