Myles Coverdale, who had published the first complete English Bible in print, the so-called Coverdale Bible, in 1535, had returned from the Palatinate to England in March 1548.
Well received at the court of the new monarch, Edward VI, he had been made king's chaplain and almoner to the queen dowager, Catherine Parr.
He becomes Bishop of Exeter in 1551, a position that will be deposed in 1553 after the succession of Queen Mary.
