Grietchen Bildesnider (d. 1534)
Grietchen Bildesnider, wife of Aert, an Anabaptist martyr, was burned to death 8 or 9 September 1534 on the Vrijthof at Maastricht, Dutch province of Limburg, together with Henrick Rol. With these martyrs the intensive persecution at Maastricht began, which almost exterminated the young, flourishing congregation.
