David Joris spent most of the year here in exile.

5 December 1531
Jan Volkerts Tripmaker, Melchior Hoffman's deputy in Holland, and 9 other Anabaptists were executed. Hoffman immediately declared a 2-year suspension of re-baptizing in order to avoid further martyrdom. David Joris witnessed Tripmaker's execution, which made a deep impression on him.
