Jan Wattier (Watier) de Jonge, an Anabaptist martyr, burned at the stake on 30 April 1569 at Kortrijk (Courtrai) in Belgium, with four other martyrs. Van Braght, Martyrs' Mirror, who gives the year of their martyrdom, but not the exact date, relates that they were arrested in Meenen and brought to Kortrijk, where they were kept incommunicado in prison for about three weeks. They were cruelly tortured on the rack, in order to obtain information for the magistrates, but the Lord gave them strength and they did not betray their fellow members. They died steadfast.
Verheyden has contributed some particulars to the general account by van Braght. Jan Watier had been born at Komen (Commines) in Flanders; he was a weaver living at Meenen. At the end of 1565 or at the beginning of 1566 he had received baptism upon his faith.
