Hillegont Petersdochter (d. 1535)
Hillegont Petersdochter of Amsterdam, where she lived in the house "De Engel," had lodged the Anabaptist bishop of Amsterdam, Jacob van Campen. Because of this fact she was sentenced on 1 June 1535 "to be hanged and strangled before her own door, as an example to others." Hillegont was not a member of the Anabaptist congregation.
