Tudor History with Claire Ridgway

The Reformer Who Was Burned… After Death!


Listen Later

On this day, 28th February 1551, Martin Bucer—a theologian and reformer whose influence stretched across Europe—died in Cambridge. But his story didn’t end there…
 
Six years later, under Queen Mary I, his body was exhumed, put on trial, and burned as a heretic. Why? What made him so dangerous that even his bones had to be destroyed?
 
Join me as we uncover the extraordinary life of Martin Bucer, his struggles, his triumphs, and the posthumous trial that sealed his fate. Listen now and decide for yourself! Was Bucer a peacemaker or too willing to compromise?
