She next married the prophet Jan van Leiden several months after the death of her first husband.

[1] Jan van Leiden made himself the spiritual and worldly leader of Münster and proclaimed Divara his queen.

[2] Divara was given clothes, a necklace and a crown of gold, her own residence and court and presided over the distribution at the public communion of between 2,000 and 6,000 people which was held at the town square.

Jan van Leiden instituted polygamy and took several more wives besides Divara and Elisabeth.
