Marigje Arriens or Marichgen Ariaens (c. 1520 – 18 December 1591) was a Dutch alleged witch, long thought to be the last to be executed for sorcery in the Dutch Republic.
She was judged guilty of sorcery and sentenced to be strangled, after which her body was burned to ashes.
[1] She was long thought to be among the last people executed for sorcery in the Dutch Republic, a country where the witch hunt ended earlier than in many other European countries.
Even so, people in the republic were executed for sorcery after 1597; as of 2014, the last known such person was Anna Muggen, who was put to death in the same fashion in Gorinchem in 1608.
The song "Born for Burning", by the Swedish black metal band Bathory, was dedicated to Arriens.
