Jan Heem (end 13th century - beginning 14th century) was a Flemish craftsman and politician. He was co-leader of the Bruges Matins massacre of 1302 but does not appear with Jan Breydel and Pieter de Coninck on the statue that stands in the marketplace of Bruges.
When the rebels in march 1302 took over the city of Bruges, he was appointed as mayor. He was a simple guildsman who was often seen at the side of Pieter de Coninck. During the periode 1323 - 1328 and at the Battle of Cassel, Jan Heem was one of the leaders of Bruges.
When in 1867 the first Breydel-Conninc commission was founded, Jan Heem was forgotten. Hendrik Conscience had forgotten to mention Jan Heem in his famous novel "The Lion of Flanders" thus few people knew who Heem was, let alone that he participatedas a leader in the uprisings in Bruges at that time. In many subsequent publications, and in the Breydel-Coninck year in Bruges is 1987, there was still no mention of him.
