He disobeyed the queen openly when she forbade him to elevate the Sacred Host in her presence; he refused to appear at a disputation on religion, or to take the Oath of Supremacy, was deprived of his bishopric with the other Catholic bishops, and died a prisoner 31 December, 1559.
The cathedral was dedicated to the Blessed Virgin, though this was changed at the Reformation to the Holy Trinity.
