Colijn, Pieter (d. 1535)Pieter Colijn (Colyn) was a burgomaster of Amsterdam who protected the Anabaptists about 1535 and is said to have belonged to them, which is, however, an error; he likely was a Sacramentist. He was killed by an Anabaptist uprising in May 1535, despite his earlier friendly attitude to them. BibliographyDoopsgezinde Bijdragen (1917): 195; (1919): 172, 174. Klötzer, Ralf.
