Produktbeschreibung

Henry VIII and the Anabaptists describes a bloody chapter in the reign of the infamous Tudor king. The book begins with the birth of Anabaptism in the city of Zurich and follows the Anabaptists as they search for religious freedom across the European Continent and into England. Intolerant of religious diversity and sensitive to potential threats to his political authority, Henry's suppression of the Anabaptists leaves them with two choices: recant or burn.
