John Fisher
John Fisher (c. 19 October 1469 – 22 June 1535) was an English Catholic bishop, theologian and Chancellor of the University of Cambridge. He is honoured as a martyr and saint by the Catholic Church.Fisher was executed by order of Henry VIII during the English Reformation for refusing to accept him as the supreme head of the Church of England and for upholding the Catholic Church's doctrine of papal supremacy. He was named a cardinal shortly before his death.
In answer to a popular petition of English Catholics, Pope Pius XI canonized John Fisher and Thomas More on 19 May 1935 as representatives of the many Catholic martyrs of England. The two martyrs share a common feast day on 22 June in the current General Roman Calendar of the Catholic Church. His name also appears in some Anglican calendars of saints. Provided by Wikipedia
