| biography:
| English clergyman and bishop. The reputation he gained at Oxford recommended him to Wolsey, who made him his chaplain. His zeal in King Henry VIII's service after Wolsey's fall earned him due promotion, and in 1540 he was made Bishop of London, but was imprisoned (1549–53) for refusing to recognize royal supremacy during the minority of Edward VI. He was restored to office under Mary I. Following Elizabeth I's accession (1558), he refused the oath of supremacy, and died in prison. |
