Franciscan martyr. Born in Werden, Holland, he entered the Franciscans and journeyed to Palestine, where he labored as a missionary among the Muslims. Returning to Europe, he devoted his evangelizing efforts to working among the Calvinists and served as vicar of the friary at Gorkum. He was thus a member of the martyrs of Gorkum, dying with his fellow Franciscans.
