Claire RidgwayDid Archbishop Cranmer keep his secret wife in a ventilated chest?
Well, yes, according to his Catholic detractors!
But was there any truth in their claims, and where does the story come from?

Did Archbishop Thomas Cranmer keep a secret wife in a box? - The Tudor Society
Did Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury, keep his secret wife in a ventilated chest? Well, yes, according to his Catholic detractors! But was there any truth in their claims, and where does the story come from? In 1532, Thomas Cranmer, who wasn’t yet Archbishop of Canterbury, was serving King Henry VIII as the resident ambassador at the court of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor. While he was with the emperor in Nuremberg, Cranmer met the city’s leading Lutheran preacher, Andreas Osiander, and the two became firm friends. Cranmer visited Osiander’s house often and at some point he met Osiander’s wife’s niece, Margarete, and that summer, despite the fact that he was an ordained priest, and was, therefore, supposed to remain celibate, Cranmer married her.

@claireridgway -- In his #illustration (https://snrk.de/snarkhunt/#561) to fit#8 of #LewisCarroll's #tragicomedy "#TheHuntingOfTheSnark" (1876), #HenryHoliday hid a pictorial reference to the print "Faiths Victorie in Romes Crueltie" (published by Thomas Jenner, c. 1630). The attached image shows
(1) the print (containing a depiction of #ThomasCranmer's burning) with a comment from a curator of the #BritishMuseum and

March 21 - This unworthy right hand - The end of Thomas Cranmer
Does "But the slightest approach to a false pretence was never among my crimes!" mean that Lewis Carroll ironically lets the Baker confess that telling the truth was a crime which the Baker (Thomas Cranmer) never committed?
In "The Hunting of the Snark", Lewis Carroll (Reverend C.L. Dodgson) might have used the "Baker" as a reference to Thomas Cranmer.
In line 241 the Baker says: "You may charge me with murder..." I think that Carroll had mixed feelings about Cranmer.
