Thomas Cranmer (2 July 1489 - 21 March 1556) was a leader of the English Reformation and Archbishop of Canterbury during the reigns of Henry VIII, Edward VI and, for a short time, Mary I.
He helped build the case for the annulment of Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon, which was one of the causes of the separation of the English Church from union with the Holy See.
Along with Thomas Cromwell, he supported the principle of Royal Supremacy, in which the king was considered sovereign over the Church within his realm.
During Cranmer's tenure as Archbishop of Canterbury, he was responsible for establishing the first doctrinal and liturgical structures of the reformed Church of England.
Under Henry's rule, Cranmer did not make many radical changes in the Church, due to power struggles between religious conservatives and reformers.
However, he succeeded in publishing the first officially authorised vernacular service, the Exhortation and Litany.
When Edward came to the throne, Cranmer was able to promote major reforms.
He wrote and compiled the first two editions of the Book of Common Prayer, a complete liturgy for the English Church.
With the assistance of several Continental reformers to whom he gave refuge, he changed doctrine in areas such as the Eucharist, clerical celibacy, the role of images in places of worship, and the veneration of saints.
Cranmer promulgated the new doctrines through the Prayer Book, the Homilies and other publications.
After the accession of the Roman Catholic Mary I, Cranmer was put on trial for treason and heresy.
Imprisoned for over two years and under pressure from Church authorities, he made several recantations and apparently reconciled himself with the Roman Catholic Church.
However, on the day of his execution, he withdrew his recantations, to die a heretic to Roman Catholics and a martyr for the principles of the English Reformation.
Cranmer's death was immortalised in Foxe's Book of Martyrs and his legacy lives on within the Church of England through the Book of Common Prayer and the Thirty-Nine Articles, an Anglican statement of faith derived from his work.
This is a very good overview . 👍
He is a great times 1000 grandad of mine
Me too!
Henry was not short!!!! I thought all academics would know this. Full referencing would be good too; it's the 'Vicar of Bray', and its a song that explains the religious, dancing that had to be done to keep your position. It doesn't start within the Tudor period but with the restoration and Charles the second and goes to the Age of Enlightenment.
Cranmer is not dead: he is alive in heaven. Will you?
Henry the VIII was not short he was six feet 2 inches tall.
My brother and I are direct descendants :)
As are my family, but not of Sir Thomas, but his brother Edmund.
Sir Thomas had 1 son (Thomas) and 1 daughter (Margaret) and neither produced heirs.
My Aunt has done a deep genealogy search and, if I am not mistaken, we are of Edmunds bloodline.
Me too! Cranmer was my 15th or 16th great grandfather. My family just found this out a few years ago. I had never seen so much on him in one place. I loved listening to this. FYI my family name now Lankford came from England in the 1740’s to what is now Polk Country NC. They received a farm on Tryon mountain
Who is the presenter? Is she British or Australian? A historian?
it was Henry the VII that had the war with Richard the third not Henry the VIII
Stephen Fry loves reading and quoting Cranmer and Fry is an atheist
Really, no lube?
Thomas Cranmer received the ending he deserved! Deus vult! The only tragedy is that good Queen Mary didn't burn all of the heretics. I worked in Oxford for a time and often passed the place where the Three Blind Mice were burnt at the stake, regretting that I couldn't have attended the burnings in person. Perhaps I did in a previous life.
If you want the truth of this story---Michael Davies.
Thomas Cranmer is my great grandfather (how ever many greats that is).
more of You, less of me great lie.
Cranmer had no children.
@@spencershortwave3958 Yeah he did
Sir Thomas had 2 children, Thomas and Margaret. Both died without bearing children. Unfortunately, his line ended.
My aunt has done an exhaustive genealogy search, and we (a Cranmer bloodline) are the progeny of Edmund, his brother.
He's.my.dad.
Are there anything to do with the real religious ? these are all human’s acts with big egos, selfishness and unkindness! so hypocrisy !
Her explanation of transubstantiation is terrible!
Should be for catholic: spiritually around, for Protestant, physically around. She explained the other way round.
