The smile that cost her everything
This episode explores the story of Alice Driver, a woman who found conviction in an English Bible during a period of religious upheaval. It asks what it takes to stand by your beliefs when your life is on the line.
Person: Alice Driver
Date: November 4, 1558
Location: Ipswich, England
Event: Execution by burning
Period: Marian persecutions
- Alice Driver, a farmer's daughter, obtained and read an English Bible in 1558, a dangerous act under Queen Mary I.
- England had experienced rapid religious shifts, from Henry VIII's break with Rome to Edward VI's Protestantism, then Mary I's staunch Catholicism.
- Queen Mary I reinstated heresy laws, leading to the burning of nearly 300 people between 1555 and 1558 for denying Catholic doctrine.
- Alice Driver compared the Bible to the Roman Mass and concluded the Mass was "idolatrous," a belief she refused to renounce.
- She and Alexander Gooch, a weaver, were discovered hiding in a haystack by men with pitchforks and subsequently arrested.
