Bilney, Thomas

    0.02 sec.

Bilney, Thomas (c. 1495–1531)

English preacher and Protestant martyr. His preaching against the corruptions of popular religion and his attractive personality deeply influenced many of his contemporaries, notably Hugh Latimer, Thomas Cranmer, and Nicholas Ridley. In 1527 he was tried by Cardinal Wolsey as a heretic and was imprisoned for a year in the Tower of London. When he resumed preaching he was again condemned and sentenced to be burned at the stake in Norwich.
