Karel (Kaerle) de Raed (Raedt), an Anabaptist martyr, was burned at the stake at Tillegem near Bruges, Belgium, on 18 May  1570 (van Braght, Martyrs Mirror, erroneously 1568, without exact date). With him Hansken in 't Schaeck and Willem de Snijder suffered martyrdom, while Karel's wife Grietgen was executed some days after. Karel, who was born at Whyngene in Flanders, and was a shepherd, had been a member of the congregation of Bruges since 1564. On Ascension Day (4 May) 1570, he was arrested with a number of other members of the congregation at a meeting held in the woods of Tillegem.
