	Thomas Cranmer - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Cranmer (July 2, 1489 – March 21, 1556) was the protestant Archbishop of Canterbury during the reigns of the English kings Henry VIII and Edward VI.
		Cranmer brought his German wife Margarete with him when he became Archbishop but kept her presence quiet so as not to be seen breaking the rules on clerical celibacy.
		Cranmer withdrew his recantation and denounced Catholic doctrine and the Pope from the pulpit, reportedly stating, "And as for the Pope, I refuse him, as Christ's enemy and Antichrist, with all his false doctrine." After this Cranmer was taken to be burned at the stake:

	Memoirs of Thomas Cranmer
		Her ruin was predetermined; and after Cranmer had declared her marriage with the king null and void, in consequence of her confession, that a preengagement existed between her and the earl of Northumberland, she was tried in the tower, and executed on the 19th of May 1536.
		Cranmer acknowledged it to be his, but complained that it had stolen abroad without his knowledge in a very imperfect condition: That his intention was to have it reviewed and corrected, and after having affixed his seal, to have it posted on all the church doors of London, particularly St. Paul's.
		Cranmer told them that their sentence was unjust, and from their partial decision he appealed to the judgment of the only wise God, by whom, he trusted, he would be received into his heavenly kingdom and glory.

		Cranmer suggested that if the canonists and the universities should decide that marriage with a deceased brother's widow was illegal, and if it were proved that Catherine had been married to Prince Arthur, her marriage to Henry could be declared null and void by the ordinary ecclesiastical courts.
		The next step was taken by Cranmer, who wrote a letter to the king, praying to be allowed to remove the anxiety of loyal subjects as to a possible case of disputed succession, by finally determining the validity of the marriage in his archiepiscopal court.
		Cranmer stood by the dying bed of Edward as he had stood by that of his father, and he there suffered himself to be persuaded to take a step against his own convictions.

		Cranmer was not a leader in the mold of Martin Luther or John Calvin.
		Cranmer’s period of greatest influence came under King Edward VI (ruled 1547–1553), particularly in cooperation with the moderate policies of the Duke of Somerset.
		Cranmer’s hopes for a reform of canon law were not realized, but some of the European scholars like Martin Bucer and Peter Martyr, whom he invited to assist in the task of reforming England, played an important part in widening horizons and persuading Cranmer to revise the Book of Common Prayer.

		Cranmer was the first Protestant to be appointed Archbishop of Canterbury (in 1533, after annulling Henry VIII's marriage to Catherine of Aragon).
		The story told by the Protestant martyrologist John Foxe, that Cranmer suggested in 1529 that the question of Henry VIII's marriage to Catherine of Aragón should be referred to the universities of Europe rather than to the pope, is almost certainly incorrect.
		However, it is true that Cranmer rose to prominence because he supported the royal divorce, and in 1533 he declared the marriage null and void.

		A lecturer at Jesus College, Cambridge, he is said to have come to the attention of the king in 1529 by suggesting that Henry might further his efforts to achieve a divorce from Katharine of Aragón by collecting opinions in his favor from the universities.
		Cranmer went (1530) to Rome to argue the king’s case and was (1532) an ambassador to Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. In 1533, Henry named him archbishop of Canterbury, and as soon as the appointment was confirmed by the pope, Cranmer proclaimed that Henry’s marriage to Katharine was invalid.
		With his friend Thomas Cromwell, he endorsed the translation of the Bible into English and was influential in procuring a royal proclamation (1538) providing for a copy in every parish church.

		Thomas Cromwell, who had risen rapidly at court in spite of the disgrace of his patron, Cardinal Wolsey, was entrusted with the work of forcing the clergy and laity to renounce the authority of the Pope.
		Cranmer, who in his heart was convinced of her innocence, promptly held a court and pronounced her marriage with Henry null and void.

	Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury and Martyr
		As concerning the life and estate of Thomas Cranmer, late archbishop of Canterbury, it is first to be noted and considered that the same Thomas Cranmer, coming of an ancient parentage, from the conquest to be deducted, was born in a village called Aslacton, in Nottinghamshire.
		Cranmer refused at the first; but after that he had spake with the king, and when they all agreed that by law of the realm it might be so, with much ado he subscribed.
		Not long after Cranmer was condemned of treason, and committed to the Tower; and when the queen could not honestly deny him his pardon, seeing all the rest were discharged, she released to him his action of treason, and accused him only of heresy.

		It is difficult to estimate fairly the character of Cranmer.

		Cranmer had the receptive mind which often goes with practical weakness; and thus he illustrated in himself the religious changes of his day, although he moved slowly to his final views.

		The question of how Cranmer was able to maintain a wife before clerical marriage was legalized is resolved by MacCulloch on the grounds that Thomas Thirlby, who led an inquiry into the practice, "was, after all, one of his old Cambridge friends" (251).
		The young Cranmer's idea of consulting theologians to decide the legality of the king's divorce may have first brought him to Henry's attention, but it was, in fact, "a humanist commonplace" (46).
		Cranmer had himself abandoned "moderate Catholic humanism" in 1537, in response to the violence of the pilgrimage of grace (179).

	BBC - History - Thomas Cranmer (1489 - 1556)
		Thomas Cranmer, considered by many to be the creator of the English Reformed Church as we know it today, entered the ministry for a simple reason: his father only had enough land to give his eldest son, so Thomas and his younger brother - as poor members of the gentry - joined the clergy.
		Cranmer argued the case as part of the embassy to Rome in 1530, and in 1532 became ambassador to Holy Roman Emperor Charles V. In Germany, where he was sent to learn more about the Lutheran movement, he met Andreas Osiander, a Lutheran reformer whose ideology appealed.
		In 1533, Cranmer was chosen to be Archbishop of Canterbury and forced (for a time) to hide his married state.
