Latimer, Hugh

Latimer, Hugh
( 1485, Thurcaston, Leicestershire, Inglaterra–16 oct. 1555, Oxford).

Mártir protestante inglés. Hijo de un próspero pequeño terrateniente, se educó en la Universidad de Cambridge, donde entró en contacto con las doctrinas de Martín Lutero y se convirtió al protestantismo. Apoyó el intento de Enrique VIII de obtener la anulación de su matrimonio, pero posteriormente fue excomulgado por rehusar aceptar la existencia del purgatorio y la necesidad de venerar a los santos. Acabó por someterse por completo y fue por breve tiempo obispo de Worcester (1535–39). De nuevo encarcelado por sospecha de herejía, fue liberado con la ascensión al trono de Eduardo VI, durante cuyo breve reinado predicó extensamente. Con la ascensión de María I Tudor y el retorno consiguiente al catolicismo fue encarcelado por traición y quemado en la hoguera.
