Trijn Van Leemput
Trijn van Leemput (c. 1530–1607) was a Dutch heroine of the Eighty Years' War against Spain. According to local legend in Utrecht, she led a large group of women on May 2, 1577, to the castle of Vredenburg and gave the signal to begin demolishing the castle.

The events that followed were recorded by contemporaries Arnold Buchelius (1565–1641) and Johan van Beverwijck (1594–1647). Later historians have cast doubt on the ...
