Venerable Waire, Kartoniert / Broschiert

Klappentext

Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Venerable Waire was an English friar and Catholic martyr who was hanged, drawn, and quartered at St. Thomas Waterings in Camberwell (a brook at the second milestone on the Old Kent Road), on 8 July, 1539. A number of historians record the execution of four men at this time and place, but only John Stowe identifies a Friar Waire as being among their number. Only one of the four is clearly identified from multiple, that being John Griffith, also known as Ven. John Griffith Clarke, but it seems clear that two friars were executed alongside him. All were accused of supporting the papal legate Cardinal Reginald Pole, who had refused to endorse Henry VIII 's divorce from Catherine of Aragon.
