Tudor Execution - Burnt at the stake

Scene from 'The Tudors' (Season 1 Episode 10) which sees a heretic named Simon Fish being burnt at the stake by Sir Thomas More. As shocking and dramatic as this scene is, the real Simon Fish was never burnt at the stake, but was stricken with Bubonic Plague, dying before he could be brought to trial for his herecy. Fish's widow subsequently married the vocal reformer James Bainham, and then became a widow twice-over in April 1532, when Bainham himself was burnt at the stake as a heretic.
