Adriana Ijshrantsdochter (d. 1535)
Adriana IJshrantsdochter, an Anabaptist martyr, was drowned at Amsterdam on 15 May 1535, on account of her faith, along with six other women, while on the same day two men were beheaded. They were accused of departing from the universal Christian faith (Roman Catholic Church), of violating the decrees of the emperor, and of revealing no compunction in regard to their heresy.
