On Thursday, 12th September 1555, the trial of Thomas Cranmer,
Archbishop of Canterbury, began in the University Church of St Mary the Virgin
at Oxford. He was accused of two offences, or doctrinal errors: repudiating
papal authority and denying transubstantiation.
Cranmer had served Kings Henry VIII and Edward VI as archbishop,
but now it was the reign of the Catholic Mary I and his ideas and the reforms
he’d help make were seen as heresy.

Nutshell and Diarmaid MacCulloch’s Thomas Cranmer: A Life.
