Dirck Cuiper (d. 1551)

Dirck (Cuiper) was an Anabaptist martyr beheaded at Leeuwarden, Dutch province of Friesland, on 20 December 1551. He is said to have held a false opinion of the Roman Catholic Sacrament. This martyr is not identical with Dirc Cuper, who was one of the messengers of Jan Matthijsz van Haarlem.
