Jan de Tasmaker (d. 1560?)
Jan de Tasmaker, named in the song "Aenhoort Godt, hemelsche Vader" of the Lietboecxken van den Offer des Heeren, and still in prison at Antwerp, Belgium, when this song was made (1560), is not found in the martyrbooks nor in the official records. Maybe he is identical with Jan Cleeren, executed at Antwerp on 8 August 1560.
