Clara 't Roen (died 1524, Aalst, Belgium), was a Flemish Lutheran.[1]
In 1524, she was convicted of heresy and burned alive at the Grote Markt, the main square in Aalst, Belgium.
She was the first woman to be executed in the Southern-Netherlands (modern day Belgium) for being a Protestant.[2]
A wheat beer has been named after Clara 't Roen.
In 2020, it was decided the city of Aalst is going to name a street after her.[3]
