Monday martyr - John Hullier - The Tudor Society
This week's Monday martyr is Protestant martyr John Hullier (Hulliarde, Huller or Hullyer), who was burnt at the stake in Cambridge for his Protestant faith on Maundy Thursday 1556, 2nd April, in the reign of Queen Mary I. Martyrologist John Foxe tells is that Hullier was educated at Eton before becoming a scholar and then a "conduct", a chaplain, at King's College, Cambridge, in 1539. Some time after that, he became curate of Babraham, near Cambridge, and had "divers conflicts with the papists" after preaching at King's Lynn. This led to him being questioned by Dr Thomas Thirlby, Bishop of Ely, who sent him to be confined in Cambridge Castle and then the Tolbooth in Cambridge, where, according to Foxe, he was imprisoned for three months.
