Bishop John Fisher- became the chief supporter of Catherine of Aragon and said he would be prepared to die rather than see their marriage dissolved. In 1532, Fisher spoke openly against the divorce and shortly after the secret marriage of Henry and Anne in Jan 1533, Fisher was arrested. In 1534, a Bill of Attainder was put against Fisher for his support of Elizabeth Barton. But it was the refusal to swear the oath of succession which led to his arrest for treason. As a result of the Act of Attainder, Fisher was hung, drawn and quartered. He was beheaded in June 1535-partly because n May 1535, Pope Paul III created Bishop John Fisher a Cardinal. This infuriated Henry VIII and he ordered him to be executed on 22nd June
