[edit]I don't see how someone who died in 1514 can be considered a Protestant martyr, when the Protestant Reformation, by the most generous estimate, began in 1517. I know that Hunne makes it in to Foxe's Acts and Monuments but, whatever else it may be, that book is scarcely an impartial source. At most, Hunne had Lollard sympathies. But it is careless to elide the religious views of Wyclif and the Lollards with those of the later magisterial Protestant reformers. Wyclif, for example, did not subscribe to central Protestant doctrines such as justification by faith alone, or assurance of salvation.
