July 4 - The awful ends of John Frith and Andrew Hewet

On this day in Tudor history, 4th July 1533, two men were burnt at the stake at Smithfield for heresy: reformer and theologian John Frith, for his belief that Purgatory didn't exist and that his views on the sacrament, and tailor's apprentice Andrew Hewt for his belief regarding the sacrament. 

 

In today's talk, Claire Ridgway, founder of the Tudor Society, explains just what was 'wrong' with these men's beliefs and how these men were betrayed, as well as sharing contemporary sources about these men's courageous ends.
