Damas Jacobsz (d. 1539)
Damas Jacobsz, a native of Leiden, Dutch province of South Holland and a barber, was one of the fanatical Anabaptists. He was probably a follower of David Joris and was beheaded at Delft, Holland, on 10 January 1539 (not 1538 as G. Brandt, Hist. der Ref. I, 1677, 133, states).
