Pieter Corbeels

Pieter Corbeels (Leuven, 12 March 1755 – Tournai, 21 June 1799) was a Belgian book printer and resistance leader.

He commanded part of the Brabantine forces during a revolt against the French Revolutionary regime known as the Boerenkrijg ("Peasants' War").

He fought in the rebel army of Jean-André van der Mersch, who won the Battle of Turnhout against the Austrians in 1789.

In 1796, he moved with his wife, Barbara Panz, and assistant, Philippus Jacobus Brepols, to Turnhout, where he was less impeded by the French.

[1] On 25 November 1798, he was caught in Postel and taken by the French, whereupon he ended up in the prison, and was executed, together with Albert Meulemans, on 21 June 1799 in Tournai.
