Stijntgen Jan Mickers (d. 1540)

Stijntgen Jan Mickers huysvrou (the wife of Jan Mickers), an Anabaptist martyr, drowned on 16 April 1540, at Alkmaar, Dutch province of North Holland. She had been (re)baptized and rejected the Roman Catholic doctrine of the Mass. Both Stijntgen and her daughter Guert Jansdochter, executed at Alkmaar on 6 February 1538, are thought to have been adherents of the revolutionary leader Jan van Batenburg.
