Thank you Adolfo for your very informative post. I had earlier come across this matter which was forwarded by someone in one of the WhatsApp group that I am on. I immediately looked up Wikipedia and the net and learnt a lot more. Your informative post has further built on this knowledge. This is one of the advantages being on Goanet. Regards Marshall

He was executed on the orders of the Bishops and the Church Hierarchy. Henry VIII more than anything else had his own very selfish reasons for supporting Tyndale (Soothsayers had assured him that his wife would give him a male heir, when she delivered a girl, she was imprisoned and a few months later Henry had her executed) Henry VIII severed from the Vatican Roman Catholic Church to create the State Religion the Church of England. As you rightly point out?? in 1534 the Roman Catholic Church accused him of heresy?
