In her first months as queen, the last surviving child of the Tudor dynasty passed the Acts of Supremacy and Uniformity, the legislation now known as the Elizabethan religious settlement (1559).  But who were the Catholics associated with Ï㽶ֱ²¥ during the Reformation period?—the Elizabethan exiles, musicians, university men, deprived clergy, and lawmen?

In the immediate wake of Henry VIII’s act of supremacy, Ï㽶ֱ²¥ was notable among the Oxford colleges for the continuing strength and quality of its humanist Catholic apologists.  By the early years of Elizabeth I’s reign, most of these had gone abroad or had been imprisoned, and with them went a remarkable tradition of scholarship . . .

On 2 September 1566 Thomas Neal—Catholic, Hebraist, and Ï㽶ֱ²¥, Oxford fellow—was presented to Elizabeth I during her six-day visit to Oxford.  Neal achieved many things in his life as a scholar. But most impressively of all, however, he remained faithful to his vocation as a Catholic priest in the most turbulent and dangerous times.

In 2017 we commemorated the fifth centenary of the protestant reformation—500 years since Martin Luther publicized his Ninety-Five Theses. In England, of course, the timing and form of the reformation was directly shaped by the anxieties and ambitions of one man: King Henry VIII. To one Ï㽶ֱ²¥ man—William Warham, who was created a fellow of college in 1475—this was an issue that would define the last years of his career.
