Dirk Willems (Dutch pronunciation: [dɪrk ˈʋɪləms]; died 16 May 1569; also spelled Durk Willems) was a Dutch Anabaptist martyr most famous for escaping from prison but then turning back to rescue his pursuer — who had fallen through thin ice while chasing Willems — only to be recaptured, tortured and killed for his beliefs.
