Weyn Ockers

Weyn Ockers, or Adriaen Ockersdochter (died 22 June 1568 in Amsterdam), was a Dutch Protestant iconoclastic. She was sentenced to death after having taken part in the iconoclastic riots in Amsterdam in 1566.

She was a wealthy merchant and known for taking part in private sermons. In 1566, she destroyed a statue of the Virgin Mary, where women used to leave gifts to the church, and also threw a slipper through a stained glass window. She was interrogated during torture and accused of having participated in further iconoclastic activities with her employee, Trijn Hendricksdochter: both women were sentenced to death and executed by being drowned.
