Edmund Grindal
Edmund Grindal (* 1519 in St Bees , † July 6, 1583 in London ) was Archbishop of Canterbury , York and London .
Grindal studied at Magdalene College and Christ's College until he came to Pembroke College in 1538 , where he turned to the Reformation . In 1541 he met Martin Bucer , whose pupil he became. Edward VI. appointed Grindal his chaplain in 1551 and two years later Bishop of London . After Maria I became queen, Grindal had to go into exile . He came to Strasbourg , Frankfurt and Basel, among others . During this time Grindal came into contact with Johannes Calvin , John Knox and John Foxe .
When Maria I died in 1558, her half-sister Elizabeth I became queen. She was Protestant and so Grindal was able to come back to England. There he was reappointed Bishop of London , the office he held before exile. In 1570 Grindal became Archbishop of York and in 1575 Archbishop of Canterbury . Grindal refused to obey Elizabeth I's orders to stop the exercises that were emerging in England . Grindal was not removed from office, but banned from public life ( Sequestrated ).
