__NOTOC__==''Synopsis== :'' Thomas Cranmer (1489 – 1556) was the [[archbishop of Canterbury]] during the reigns of the English kings [[Henry VIII]] and [[Edward VI]]. He was an influential theologian who is arguably the co-founder (with Richard Hooker and Matthew Parker) of [[Anglican]] theological thought. He is credited with writing and compiling the first two Books of Common Prayer which established the basic structure of Anglican liturgy for over four centuries and influenced the English language through its phrases and quotations. Cranmer was an important figure in the English Reformation which denied papal authority over the English Church. After Queen Mary reunited the Church of England with the Roman Catholic Church, he was executed in 1556 for heresy. ==Contents==
