Thomas Cranmer was the archbishop of Canterbury under Henry VIII, Edward VI, and, briefly, under Mary I. He worked for the annulment of Henry's marriage to Catherine of Aragon. As head of the Church in England, he pushed for an annulment, which he ended up issuing and married Henry and Anne Boleyn, a marriage which he fully supported. He published the first English Holy Communion service and enacted many reforms under Edward VI, to bring the English church more in line with the protestants. He was imprisoned under Mary I for over two years, and actually recanted at the end, appearing to want to return to Rome. So he died as a protestant martyr.
