Summary
The Act of Six Articles came into force on 12 July 1539. Henry VIII died on 27 January 1547.
BURNED FOR HERESY
After 18 March 1540: Valentine Freez. A Dutch evangelical of long standing, resident in York. He was convicted of sacramentarian heresy by the Council in the North shortly before 18 March 1540, and was burned out-side York soon afterwards, together with his wife. PRO SP 1/158 fo. 72r (LP XV 362); AM, 1027; Dickens, Lollards and Protestants, 30–2.
After 18 March 1540: Mrs Freez. Wife of Valentine Freez (above) and burned with him as a sacramentary.
3 May 1540: John. An Italian painter, and one of three burned at Southwark for ‘heresie against the sacrament of the aulter’. Presumably also one of the three who Richard Hilles states were burned in Southwark after Easter 1540 for denying transubstantiation. Foxe dates the burning to ‘about’ 1539 and places it in St Giles in the Fields. Wriothesley, 118; Bale, Epistle exhortatorye, fos. 14v–15r; ET, 133 (OL, 200); AM, 1279.
3 May 1540: Giles Germaine. A joiner burned with John the painter. Wriothesley, 118; Bale, Epistle exhortatorye, fos. 14v–15r; AM, 1279.
3 May 1540: Maundevild or Lancelot. A French groom to the queen, burned with John the Italian painter. Foxe claims he was a royal servant present at the examination of John and Germaine, who ‘seemed by his countenaunce & gesture to fauour both the cause & the poore men his frends’. He was arrested and condemned with them. Wriothesley, 118; Bale, Epistle exhortatorye, fos. 14v–15v; AM, 1279.
