Jan van Schellingwou (16th century)
Jan van Schellingwou (Scellinckwoude), a Dutch heretical leader, active in Amsterdam in 1534-1535; he belonged to the revolutionary wing of Anabaptism; it is rather curious that this man who had so much to answer for was not sentenced to death, but only banished from the territory of Amsterdam for five years.
