Rhode Peters, listed in van Braght's Martyrs' Mirror as one of seven Swiss Brethren teachers (preachers) and elders imprisoned in the penitentiary at Bern, Switzerland in 1659. Samuel Geiser, however, lists eleven, but does not name Rhode Peters. He is per­haps identical with "Peter Friedle (Frider) von Biglen" found in the Geiser list, and also in Ernst Müller's list of those banished in 1660. The matter awaits clarification  (see Himmelberg, Anthoni).
