Stars: 3
Review by: Mandy Apgar
Three men are
the key focus of this - Nicholas Ridley (ex bishop of London), Hugh
Latimer (ex bishop of Worchester), and Thomas Cranmer (Archbishop of
Canterbury). The book is concerned with how the
trials of these men on heresy charges reflected the religious tension of
the time of Mary I, and how their execution helped turn public opinion
even more against the queen - especially Cranmer - who faced with his
funeral pyre first stuck in the hand that signed
his retraction saying it deserved to get burned first.
