Thomas was a Cambridge don, royal ambassador, Archbishop of Canterbury under both Henry VIII and Edward VI, author of most of The Book of Common Prayer (1549 & 1552) and leading figure in the English Reformation. He matriculated at Cambridge University at age 14 and became a Bible scholar. His personal library of 750 volumes (very large for his era) indicates a keen mind -- his books included early church Fathers, Thomas Aquinas and the Continental Reformers (Luther, Calvin, Zwingli, Bucer and Erasmus). He was responsible for the royal edict placing a public copy of The Great Bible in each parish church (1539). He was burned at the stake in Broad Street, Oxford, during Queen Mary's counter-reformation. See "Thomas Cranmer," Jasper Ridley (Clarendon Press, 1962) and "My Lord of Canterbury" (a biographical novel), Godfrey Edmund Turton (Doubleday & Co., 1967). Thomas is supposed to be referred to in the nursery rhyme, Goosey, goosey, gander," where he is the "old man who would not say his prayers" - Thomas played a leading role in the imprisonment of Stephen Gardiner (1473-1555), Bishop of Winchester, who owned 22 brothels on his estate in Southwark where his "Winchester Geese" (as the whores were known) earned him much money ("upstairs, downstairs, in my Lady's chamber" recalls Gardiner's friendship with the Queen, Mary Tudor, who later released him from prison and persecuted the Protestants).
---- Compton's Encyclopedia (America On-Line, 1995) reports: "CRANMER, Thomas (1489-1556). The first archbishop of Canterbury of the reformed Church of England, Cranmer found a way that did not violate church law for Henry VIII to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon without having to go to the pope. As archbishop, he put the English Bible in parish churches and drew up the Book of Common Prayer. "Thomas Cranmer was born in Aslacton, England, on July 2, 1489. Educated at Cambridge, he became an outstanding religion scholar. He tended to favor the "new way of thinking" that resulted from Martin Luther's revolt against the Roman church. Cranmer's involvement with interpreting church law to Henry's benefit came by chance, but the king immediately engaged him to continue to promote his interests and in 1533 appointed him archbishop of Canterbury. As archbishop he was in charge of reforming the church under Henry, who had no taste for change, and his successor, the boy king Edward VI, whose guardian was determined to transform it into a Protestant church. "Cranmer's fatal mistake was his approval of Lady Jane Grey as Edward's successor. She was beheaded nine days later and the legitimate heir to the throne, the Catholic Mary I (Mary Tudor), denounced him for promoting Protestantism. He was tried for treason, convicted of heresy, and burned at the stake on March 21, 1556."
