Guillaume van Dale (d. 1562)
Guillaume (Guljame) van Dale (van den Daele), an Anabaptist martyr, burned at the stake on the Vrijdagsmarkt at Ghent, Belgium, on 23 December 1562. His name is found in the hymn "Alsmen schreef duyst vijfhondert jaer ende twee en tsestich mede" of the Liedtboecxken van den Offer des Heeren. Guillaume, who was a native of Hansbeke in Flanders, may have belonged to the Mennonite van Daele (van Dale, van Dalen) family, members of which were later found in the Dutch congregations of Aardenburg and Haarlem.
