This great Bishop from the reformation era of King Henry V111. He was the one Bishop in England who refused to bow down to the recalcitrant King Henry! One of the great Martyr Saints of all times who is much revered.

A great Irish martyr from the reformation period betrayed by her own son who had apostatized! The brutality imposed on anyone who refused to deny their faith was horrendous and huge numbers of martyrs came from this period.
