Pieter with the Lame Foot, Jan Drooghscheerder, Hans Rorduerwercker, in the Year 1555

In the year 1555, when the young nobleman Jan van Immerseele had become Margrave, four brothers were arrested at Antwerp for the testimony of the truth, namely, Pieter with the lame foot, Jan Drooghscheerder, Hans Borduerwercker, and Frans Sweerdtveger. Since they held valiantly to it, and could not be brought to apostatize, they were finally sentenced to death, and had to lay down their lives publicly in the marketplace for the name of the Lord, for which He will well reward them.
