	Edmund Campion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Edmund Campion (January 24, 1540 – December 1, 1581) was a Catholic priest, Jesuit and martyr.
		Campion was appointed tutor to Richard Stanihurst, son of the Speaker of the Irish parliament, and attended the first session of the House of Commons, which included the prorogation.

	St. Edmund Campion
		Campion shone at Oxford in 1560, when he delivered one oration at the reburial of Amy Robsart, and another at the funeral of the founder of his own college; and for twelve years he was to be followed and imitated as no man ever was in an English university except himself and Newman.
		Campion, pleading not guilty, was quite unable to hold up his often-wrenched right arm, seeing which, a fellow prisoner, first kissing it, raised it for him.
		Every tradition of Edmund Campion, every remnant of his written words, and not least his unstudied golden letters, show us that he was nothing less than a man of genius; truly one of the great Elizabethans, but holy as none other of them all.

		Campion was 13 and the most promising scholar at Christ's Hospital school in London when he was chosen to read an address to Mary Tudor upon her arrival in London as queen in 1553.
		Campion received a scholarship to Oxford at age 15, and, by the time Elizabeth rose to power ("restoring" Protestantism as the national religion) upon Mary's death in 1558, he was already a junior fellow.
		Campion was eloquent and persuasive to the last, dominating the entire procedure with the force of his logic and his knowledge of the Scripture and law, but in vain.

	Saint Edmund Campion Part I (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-27)
		When Edmund Campion presented himself to Dr. Richard Alien, founder of the seminary at Douai, he might have been placed immediately on the faculty and set to work composing tracts for secret distribution in England, for this was an important activity among Dr. Alien's community.
		Campion was quite a 'catch' for the still struggling seminary, and the temptation to put him immediately on triumphal display must have crossed Alien's mind.
		Edmund Campion accordingly travelled to Rome, performed the usual pilgrim's devotions with unusual zeal, was accepted into the Society, and was assigned to the Jesuit noviciate in Prague.

		Campion was comprehensively tortured and, despite mounting a defiant and intelligent defence, was hanged, drawn and quartered in December 1581.

		Edmundes, he tumbled into a Shakespearean tavern scene: with a tankard on the table before him and his rapier across his knees he sat bewitching the whole company with his sparkling humor and his charm--which his fellow Catholics never tired of praising and his enemies could never curse sufficiently.
		Edmund defended himself and the others brilliantly, protesting their loyalty to the queen, blasting the evidence, raising doubts about the witnesses, and establishing clearly that their only crime was their faith.

		Though Edmund Campion (1540-1581) was a scholar at Oxford University under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth I's court favorite, Robert Dudley, Earl of Leicester, Campion's studies of theology, church history, and the church fathers led him away from the positions taken by the Church of England.
		From Campion's point of view, to satisfy the new orthodoxy of the Church of England, a reconstructionist interpretation of church history was being set forth, one that he found difficult to reconcile with what he actually found in the writings of those fathers [2].
		Having established the allusions to St. Edmund Campion in the Clown's opening speech (IV.ii.5-12), the tenor of the remainder of the scene, in the context of Campion's imprisonment, becomes apparent.
