1563 CE
John Foxe publishes his Acts and Monuments of These Latter and Perillous Dayes, a strongly prejudiced martyrology extolling the heroism of the Protestant martyrs of the Reformation, in 1563.
Known almost immediately as the Book of Martyrs, it is a vivid record of the suffering and martyrdom of the Protestants under the restored Roman Catholicism of the late Queen Mary.
