March 20 - St Cuthbert Mayne, an Elizabethan priest and martyr

On this day in Tudor history, 20th March 1544, Cuthbert Mayne (Main/Maine) or St Cuthbert Mayne, Roman Catholic priest and martyr, was baptised in Youlston in North Devon.

Cuthbert Mayne has gone down in history as the first seminary priest to be martyred. He was hanged, drawn and quartered at Launceston on 30th November 1577, in the reign of Queen Elizabeth I.

Let Claire Ridgway, founder of the Tudor Society, tell you a bit more about this Elizabethan martyr.
