Martyr in the religious wars of Holland during the difficult years of the Reformation. He was born and educated in Hilvarenbeek, and joined the Premonstratensians for a time before becoming a parish priest. One of the Martyrs of Gorkum, Adrian was arrested with Jacob Lacops and Andreas Wouters. The three were taken to Briel and charged with refusing to deny papal supremacy in religious matters and for teaching others about the Blessed Sacrament.
