In Chapter 11 of Foxe's Book of Martyrs, we turn our attention to the harrowing accounts of persecution in the Netherlands during the 16th century. As the Protestant Reformation spread across Europe, the Netherlands became a battleground for religious conflict, where believers faced brutal suppression under both Spanish Catholic rule and the relentless grip of the Inquisition.

This episode highlights the stories of steadfast martyrs who endured imprisonment, torture, and execution for their unwavering faith. We’ll explore how the Spanish monarchy sought to eradicate Protestantism, using violence and fear to silence reformers. The chapter brings to life the courage and resolve of those who refused to renounce their beliefs, even in the face of death.

Join us as we examine the spiritual cost of religious freedom, the resilience of early Reformed communities, and the powerful legacy of the martyrs of the Netherlands whose sacrifices continue to inspire believers today.
