[edit] Copyvio

[edit] Inconsistency/Contradiction

Seems to be a small inconsistency in the article. It first states Bradford uttered his famous line "while imprisoned in the Tower of London, when he saw a criminal going to execution for his crimes." However, further on it claims he said it when he saw a criminal gang heading to execution whilst he was roaming Lancashire and Cheshire as a chaplain.

Agreed. I added the Contradict template to the article. — wfaulk 22:59, 10 September 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Date of death

I'm getting confused. Encyclopedia Britannica said Bradford was burned on January 31, 1555, but others say he was condemned to death on January 31 and burned on either June 30 or July 15. January 31 can't be right. Which death date is more correct? --Angeldeb82 (talk) 16:50, 29 January 2008 (UTC)
