Question: John Foxe (1516/17 – 18 April 1587) was an English historian and martyrologist, the author of "Actes and Monuments", an account of Christian martyrs throughout Western history but emphasizing the sufferings of English Protestants and proto-Protestants from the fourteenth century through the reign of which Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 until her death?
Context: Agnes Prest (died 15 August 1557) was an English Protestant martyr from the reign of the Catholic Queen Mary.  She was burned at the stake at Southernhay in Exeter in 1557.  According to "Foxe's Book of Martyrs", and the story of Exeter Protestant Martyrs she lived near Launceston, Cornwall, and was married to a Catholic husband.  She left her husband over his Catholicism, and went to be a spinner but she later on returned to him and was arrested and indicted at the Launceston Assizes.  She was then put in Launceston jail and then transferred to Exeter jail.  In Exeter prison, she was brought before the Bishop of Exeter, bishop Turbeville.  When questioned, she denied the Catholic doctrine of Transubstantiation.  She was then released for a month.  Whilst she was released, she is said to have met a Dutch stonemason in Exeter Cathedral who was repairing the statues of the saints beloved of the Catholics.  According to Foxe, she said to him "What a madman art thou, to make them new noses, which within a few days shall all lose their heads".  After that point she was returned to jail where she had many visitors, including Walter Raleigh's mother, Catherine Raleigh who praised her for her 'Godly life'.  She was then tried for heresy by the Mayor of Exeter, refused to recant her beliefs and was executed by being burnt to death on the 15th August 1557. . The Actes and Monuments, popularly known as Foxe's Book of Martyrs, is a work of Protestant history and martyrology by John Foxe, first published in English in 1563 by John Day.  It includes a polemical account of the sufferings of Protestants under the Catholic Church, with particular emphasis on England and Scotland.  The book was highly influential in those countries and helped shape lasting popular notions of Catholicism there.  The book went through four editions in Foxe's lifetime and a number of later editions and abridgements, including some that specifically reduced the text to a "Book of Martyrs". The book "Acts and Monuments" by John Foxe, commonly known as Foxe's Book of Martyrs lists many more than this. John Day (or Daye) (c. 1522 – 23 July 1584) was an English Protestant printer.  He specialised in printing and distributing Protestant literature and pamphlets, and produced many small-format religious books, such as ABCs, sermons, and translations of psalms.  He found fame, however, as the publisher of John Foxe's "Actes and Monuments", also known as the "Book of Martyrs", the largest and most technologically accomplished book printed in sixteenth-century England. The Human Condition, first published in 1958, Hannah Arendt's account of how "human activities" should be and have been understood throughout Western history.  Arendt is interested in the "vita activa" (active life) as contrasted with the "vita contemplativa" (contemplative life) and concerned that the debate over the relative status of the two has blinded us to important insights about the "vita activa" and the way in which it has changed since ancient times.  She distinguishes three sorts of activity (labor, work, and action) and discusses how they have been affected by changes in Western history. The 'White Horse Tavern' or 'White Horse Inn' was allegedly the meeting place in Cambridge for English Protestant reformers to discuss Lutheran ideas, from 1521 onwards.  According to the historian Geoffrey Elton the group of university dons who met there were nicknamed 'Little Germany' in reference to their discussions of Luther.  Whilst the pub undoubtedly existed, several scholars have questioned the existence of the 'White Horse' meetings - they are described by John Foxe in his Book of Martyrs, but no other evidence for them exists.  Gergely M Juhász writes that 'Foxe’s romantic image of these students and scholars convening secretly on a regular basis in the White Horse Inn… is unsubstantiated', and Alec Ryrie refers to it as 'the stubborn legend of the White Horse Inn.' Robert Samuel (died 31 August 1555) was an English priest of East Bergholt in Suffolk, England who was imprisoned, tortured and burnt to death as a judicial execution under the Marian persecutions, and is commemorated as one of the Ipswich Martyrs.  His sufferings are recorded in John Foxe's "Book of Martyrs". John Foxe (1516/17 – 18 April 1587) was an English historian and martyrologist, the author of "Actes and Monuments" (popularly known as "Foxe's Book of Martyrs"), an account of Christian martyrs throughout Western history but emphasizing the sufferings of English Protestants and proto-Protestants from the fourteenth century through the reign of Mary I.  Widely owned and read by English Puritans, the book helped mould British popular opinion about the Catholic Church for several centuries. Mary I (18 February 1516 – 17 November 1558) was the Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 until her death.  Mary is best known for her aggressive and bloody pursuit of the restoration of Roman Catholicism in England and Ireland in an attempt to reverse the English Reformation of her father, Henry VIII. The English Protestant cleric John Foxe of the 16th century, known primarily if somewhat misleadingly as a martyrologist on the basis of his major work "Actes and Monuments", wrote also on the interpretation of the Apocalypse, both at the beginning of his writing career in the 1550s, and right at the end of it, with his "Eicasmi" of 1587, the year of his death.
