  • The Execution of George van Parris under Edward VI The reign of Edward VI is often seen as a time of Protestant reform, but it was also a period of religious persecution. On 24th or 25th April 1551, George van Parris was burned at the stake—not for being Catholic, but for holding radical Protestant beliefs. A Flemish surgeon living in London, van Parris was condemned for Arianism, the belief that Jesus was created by God rather than being divine. His case was debated by some of the most powerful reformers of the time, including Archbishop Cranmer and Bishop Ridley. Even King Edward VI recorded his execution in his journal. His story is one of forgotten Tudor executions, showing that even in a Protestant England, straying too far from accepted doctrine could cost you your life. Was this execution justified, or a step too far? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!
