Marijntgen van Male (d. 1564)
Marijntgen (Marijtgen) van Male (or Martynckin Maelbouts, Malebosch), an Anabaptist martyr, beheaded on 12 December 1564, at Ghent, Belgium, with her sister Pierijntgen. They were natives of Thielt in Flanders and daughters of a Zegher. Other particulars are lacking. Van Braght's Martyrs' Mirror names this martyr twice: first as Marijntgen van Male, and then as Martijntgen Maelbouts. In neither case does he give the exact date of execution. This martyr is listed among the martyrs of Ghent in a hymn found in the Lietboecxken van den Offer des Heeren of 1578. The account on this martyr found in Mennonitisches Lexikon III is incorrect.
