STORY, JOHN (c. 1510-1571)

This article appears in Volume V25, Page 969 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: STE-SUS
STORY, JOHN (c. 1510-1571) , English
martyr
 , was educated at Oxford, where he became lecturer on civil law in 1535, being made later principal of Broadgates
Hall
 , afterwards Pembroke College. He appears to have disavowed his Roman Catholic opinions just after the accession of Edward VI., but having been chosen a member of
parliament
  in 1547 he gained notoriety by his opposition to the act of uniformity in 1548. For crying out " Woe unto thee, 0 land, when thy king is a child," he was imprisoned by the
House
  of Commons, but he was soon released and went into
exile
 . Returning to England in 1553, he resigned his position at Oxford, which was now that of regius professor of civil law, and was made chancellor of the dioceses of London and of Oxford and dean of arches. Queen Mary being now on the throne, Story was one of her most active agents in prosecuting heretics, and was one of her proctors at the trial of Cranmer at Oxford in 1555. Under Elizabeth he was again returned to
parliament
 , but in 156o he underwent a short imprisonment for boasting about his
work
  in the former reign. In 1563 he was again arrested, but managed to escape to Flanders, where he became a pensioner of Philip II. of Spain. The duke of Alva authorized him to exclude certain classes of books from the Netherlands and, in 1570, while engaged in this
work
 , he was decoyed on to a ship at Antwerp and conveyed to Yarmouth. In spite of his claim that he was a Spanish subject, he was tried for high treason, and executed at Tyburn on the 1st of June 1J71. In 1886 Story was beatified by papal decree.
