Life
Jean Vallière was initially an Augustinian monk. In Meaux he met the reformer Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples , a follower of the teachings of Martin Luther . What exactly he believed, said or done is no longer recorded. But he was in 1523 because of blasphemous speeches and "Lutheran heresy " by the Inquisition tried, convicted by the court and as a heretic before the Notre Dame Cathedral burned . Before that, his tongue was torn out. He was the first martyr of the then emerging Huguenots , as the Protestants of France were called.
The day of remembrance in the Protestant calendar of names is August 8, the day of his death.
