Jacob Fredriks (16th century)Jacob Fredriks, a Dutch Mennonite, who went with Dirk Jansz Cortenbosch on a visit to the Mennonites along the Rhine, and then in April 1572 paid a visit to Prince William I of Orange at his castle at Dillenburg, Germany. They were asked by the Prince to collect money among the Mennonites of Holland for the purpose of liberating this country from the Spanish yoke. They promised to do so, but because Fredriks, of whom nothing further is known, had no opportunity to visit the congregations, Cortenbosch and P. W. Bogaert collected the money.
