Book Description
Excerpt from The Extinction of the Ancient Hierarchy: An Account of the Death in Prison of the Eleven Bishops Honoured at Rome Amongst the Martyrs of the Elizabethan Persecution, Archbishop Heath of York, Bishops Tunstall, Bonner and Companions The subject which is dealt with in the following pages, viz., the extinction of England's ancient Hierarchy under Elizabeth, and the fate of the faithful Catholic Bishops whom that Queen deposed, is one which long has occupied the writer's thoughts. Without making any real examination of the facts, historians went on for centuries contentedly repeating the interested and deceitful account of the matter given by Lord Burghley, who was himself the chief actor in effecting that extinction; - and thus it came at last to be regarded as a fixed tradition to be accepted without question, that, excepting one or two, the ousted Prelates had been pleasantly allowed to end their lives in comfortable ease and quiet. The writer (who at the time had only heard the above stereotyped version of the story) well remembers his surprise on being shown in younger days, in the Library of his College, the picture placed here as frontispiece, with its inscription recording the death of the Eleven Bishops from their sufferings in prison for the faith. "What?" he asked, "did eleven Bishops really die in prison," and, though assured at the time that there must have been some exaggeration, the impression made upon him did not quickly vanish. His early interest in the subject naturally was revived by the beatification, in 1886, of so many of the English martyrs represented in the very pictures, to the series of which belonged the one just mentioned; and still more by the appearance three years later of the late Father Bridgett's Queen Elizabeth and the Catholic Hierarchy, to which continual references will be found in the ensuing pages.
