Latimer, Hugh

Born 1485 (?); died Oct. 16, 1555, in London. English Reformation figure.

In his views, Latimer was close to Lutheranism. From 1535 to 1539 he was bishop of Worcester. He was an adviser to Henry VIII; then he fell into disfavor and spent several years in prison. Under Edward VI (king from 1547 to 1553), he was court chaplain. In 1548–49 he delivered a number of sermons which, in addition to calls to deepen the Reformation, contained demands for certain social reforms (such as the lowering of land rents). Under Mary Tudor (ruled from 1553 to 1558), he was again imprisoned and then burnt at the stake as a heretic.
