Hendrik Leerkoper (Leerverkoper), a leather merchant at Antwerp, Belgium, an Anabaptist martyr, was beheaded at Antwerp on 8 October 1558. The goods he left were confiscated. His official name was Hendrick Dache(?), a native of Fleru (Fleurus?). His wife was drowned because of "Anabaptist heresy" at Antwerp on 19 March 1559. The name of Hendrik is found in the hymn "Aenhoort Godt, hemelsche Vader" (Hear, O God, heavenly Father), included in Liedtboecxken van den Offer des Heeren, No. 16.
