Burn The Hand That Signs
Manage episode 336143359 series 3106038
Between January and mid-February 1556, Thomas Cranmer gave way to pressure to recant his Protestantism and submit to papal authority. After privately recanting, he was required to explain himself in the pulpit of University Church, Oxford. Much to the surprise of the throne, Cranmer publicly denounced his private recantations. He also denied papal authority, and, knowing that he would immediately be executed, declared that he would punish the hand that originally signed the recantations by burning it first.
