Henry VIII founded Protestantism in the United Kingdom when he formed the Church of England. Everybody should know that. "The name Protestant first appeared at the Diet of Speyer in 1529, when the Roman Catholic emperor of Germany, Charles V, rescinded the provision of the Diet of Speyer in 1526 that had allowed each ruler to choose whether to administer the Edict of Worms. On April 19, 1529, a protest against this decision was read on behalf of 14 free cities of Germany and six Lutheran princes who declared that the majority decision did not bind them because they were not a party to it and that if forced to choose between obedience to God and obedience to Caesar they must choose obedience to God. They appealed either to a general council of all Christendom or to a synod of the whole German nation. Those who made this protest became known to their opponents as Protestants, and gradually the label was applied to all who adhered to the tenets of the Reformation, especially to those living outside Germany"

Calvin: agreed to execution No he didn't!!RCC started this lie because they were losing ground. Calvin lived at a time when burning in Europe and UK was an accepted practice as part of justice. Individuals had no say in the matter. Not only heresy was punished thus.
Quote;
"Elizabeth Wright was burned for coining on the 19th of December 1733, although her 26 year old daughter and accomplice were reprieved. Wednesday, the 2nd of October 1734 saw a triple burning, at Tyburn, of Mary Haycock, Elizabeth Tracey and Catherine Bougle for counterfeiting and possession of coining equipment. This is London’s only recorded multiple burning in the 18th century.
Although burning was not a common punishment by this time, at least 32 women suffered this fate between 1735 and 1789" - Mainly for murdering their husbands.
"The last woman to be burnt for petty treason, i.e. the murder of her husband in Britain, was Mary Bailey at Winchester, on Monday, the 8th of March 1784 thereafter hanging was substituted for this crime. Her co-accused, John Quinn, was hanged first."
