Lives of Saints & Servants of God

John Fisher

Willey, Eldred

Life of the only English Cardinal ever to be martyred

John Fisher was the son of a prosperous cloth-merchant. His brilliant mind ensured that he rose quickly in the Church, and he eventually became Bishop of Rochester. As a Christian Humanist he was a friend of fellow Saint, Thomas More.
His Yorkshire roots ensured a plain-speaking loyalty to the truth that led to his martyrdom. He remains the only British Cardinal to be martyred and the only bishop in England who held out against Henry VIII until the very end.
