Katarzyna Weiglowa

Katarzyna Weiglowa (Wajglowa) (; given erroneously in a Polish source of 17c. as Vogel (c.1459-1539), and known in many English sources as ''Catherine Vogel''; – 19 April 1539) was a Polish woman who was burned at the stake for apostasy by the Polish Inquisition. She converted from Roman Catholicism to Judaism or to Judaizing nontrinitarianism, and was executed in Kraków after she refused to call Jesus Christ the Son of God. She is regarded by Unitarians and Jews (among others) as a martyr. Provided by Wikipedia
