Elbert Pieter Sinckes, an Anabaptist martyr, was beheaded at Alkmaar, Dutch province of North Holland, 1 February 1536, because (1) he had been rebaptized, (2) he had taken part in the journey to Münster, being taken prisoner at Bergklooster, and (3) he had not prevented Dirk Krood (Dirk of Wormer) from taking the holy sacrament from the hands of a priest at Wormer.

He was arrested at the same time as others who had planned an attack on Alkmaar, including Frans Dirksz Quintijn, Bregte Adams and Aegje Elinxdochter.
