Hermann van Flekwyk
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hermann Van Flekwyk (or Vlekwijk, died June 10, 1569) was a Dutch Anabaptist, whose name has become memorable, in consequence of an examination for heresy conducted by the Franciscan Cornelius Adrians[1] later translated.[2]
Among the charges against Flekwyk: "You have sucked at the poisoned breast of Erasmus"[3] and having "blasphemed against the true body and blood of God, by speaking against the Mass,"[4] To the charges Herman replied "Can you shed the blood of a good Christian?"[5] He was executed at Bruges.
