MARTIN SUETENS, RELIGIOUS AND MARTYR
Martin Suetens (Martinus), a Minorite from Brabant, (I. 810), was known as a very zealous preacher. He died a martyr in A.D. 1580. On his way from Mechelen to Leuven heretics pounced on him and so badly mistreated him that he died as a result of the injuries sustained. (Seraph. Mart.) He is also remembered on April 24.
