Tudor History with Claire Ridgway25 Tammi 2021

A priest in Little Ease, death from plague, and heretics meet their ends - January 25 - 31, Part 1

On 25th January 1540, Jesuit priest and martyr, St Edmund Campion, was born in London. Although he was close to the Earl of Leicester and William Cecil at one point, he ended up being thrown into the Tower of London's Little Ease and being executed as a traitor. Claire Ridgway, author of "On This Day in Tudor History", tells his story. On 26th January 1528, diplomat and courtier Sir Francis Poyntz died of the plague. On 27th January 1556, in the reign of Queen Mary I, Bartholomew Green, also known as Bartlet Green, was burnt at the stake for heresy with six other Protestants. He could have got away with receiving communion according to Protestant rites, but he did something that brought him to the attention of the queen and her government. Find out what he did, and about his sad end, ifrom Claire. Book recommendations: "God's Traitors" by Jessie Childs.
