Claudine le Vettre (called Claudine le Vetter in <em>Doopsgezinde Bijdragen</em>), an Anabaptist martyr, was the wife of Piersom (Pierson) des Muliers, a God-fearing man who lived in Bruges and later in Meenen (Menin), Belgium. Piersom managed to escape, having been warned by a friend of the coming of the catchpolls. But Claudine, with a child upon her arm, was unable to do so, and after a valiant confession of her faith in Ieper (Ypres), Belgium, was executed in 1568. Her husband praised her for her great knowledge of the Scriptures; she also had a beautiful voice and encouraged many in prison by singing hymns.
