William Tyndale (c 1491-1536) made the first Protestant translation of The Bible into English. In about 1536, he was executed by King Henry VIII for his work. However, in 1538, after long opposing the use of English Bibles, King Henry VIII ordered that every church in the realm have a Bible translated into English. Henry's Great Bible was largely Tyndale's translation, disguised as from "Thomas Matthew" to avoid embarrassment over Tyndale's execution.
