Publisher's Synopsis
""Franciscan Martyrs in England"" is a historical account written by Anne Fulton Hope and published in 1878. The book tells the story of a group of Franciscan friars who were martyred during the reign of King Henry VIII in the 16th century. The friars were known for their devotion to the Catholic Church and their refusal to recognize Henry VIII as the head of the Church of England. As a result, they were persecuted and ultimately executed for their beliefs. Hope's book provides a detailed account of their lives, their faith, and the circumstances that led to their martyrdom. It also explores the broader historical context of the Reformation in England and the role of the Franciscan order in the country. Overall, ""Franciscan Martyrs in England"" is a fascinating and informative account of a little-known chapter in English history and a testament to the bravery and dedication of these religious martyrs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
