Maeyken van Deventer, an Anabaptist martyr, who is said to have been executed in Rotterdam, Dutch province of South Holland, in 1573. This is, however, rather questionable, for in 1573 Rotterdam was no longer in Spanish hands, and her bequest to her four children is almost identical with that of the martyr Anneken van Rotterdam.
