| 46 | <font size="-1">The summer of 1535 was one of the bloodiest of King Henry
|
---|
| 47 | VIII's reign.&nbsp; The deaths of John Fisher, bishop of Rochester, and Sir
|
---|
| 48 | Thomas More shocked and appalled Europe.&nbsp; Henry's reputation never
|
---|
| 49 | recovered and was further blemished when he later executed two wives.</font><p>

|
---|
| 53 | Westminster three monks of the Charterhouse of London, and there condemned
|
---|
| 54 | of high treason against the king, and sentenced to be drawn, hanged, disemboweled,
|
---|
| 55 | beheaded and quartered.&nbsp; One of them was called Francis Nitigate,
|
---|
| 56 | another Master Exmew, storekeeper of the same place, and the third was
|
---|
| 57 | called Master Middlemore, vicar of the same place.&nbsp; This year also
|
---|
| 58 | on 17 June was arraigned at Westminster in the king's bench John Fisher,
|
---|
| 59 | bishop of Rochester, for treason against the king, and he was condemned
|
---|
| 60 | there by a jury of knights and esquires (the lord chancellor sitting as
|
---|
| 61 | high judge), who passed this sentence on him - that the said John Fisher
|
---|
| 62 | should go from thence to the place where he came from, which was the Tower
|
---|
| 63 | of London, and from thence to be drawn through the City of London to Tyburn,
|
---|
| 64 | there to be hanged, cur down alive, his bowels taken out of his body and
|
---|
| 65 | burnt before him, his head cut off, and his body be divided into four parts
|
---|
| 66 | and his head and body be set in such places as the king should assign.&nbsp;
|
---|
| 67 | The effect of the treason was denying the king to be Supreme Head of the
|
---|
| 68 | Church of England, according to a statute, The Act of Supremacy, made in
|
---|
| 69 | the last session of Parliament.
|
---|
| 70 | <p>On 19 June, a Saturday, the three monks of the Charterhouse, aforementioned,
|
---|
| 71 | were drawn from the Tower to Tyburn, and there executed according to their
|
---|
| 72 | sentence, and their heads and bodies hung at different gates around the
|
---|
| 73 | city.
|
---|
| 74 | <p>Also on 22 June, Tuesday, John Fisher, bishop of Rochester, was beheaded
|
---|
| 75 | at Tower Hill, and the rest of his execution pardoned.&nbsp; His body was
|
---|
| 76 | buried in Barking churchyard, next to the Tower of London, and his head
|
---|
| 77 | was set on London Bridge.
|
---|
| 78 | <p>This year also on 1 July, being Thursday, Sir Thomas More, sometime
|
---|
| 79 | chancellor of England, was arraigned at Westminster for high treason and
|
---|
| 80 | there condemned, and the Tuesday after, being 6 July, he was beheaded at
|
---|
| 81 | Tower Hill and his body was buried within the chapel in the Tower of London,
|
---|
| 82 | and his head was set on London Bridge.&nbsp; The effect of his death was
|
---|
| 83 | for the same cause that the bishop of Rochester died for.
