Name one. It was never contrary to church law for a lay person to possess or use an approved translation, except for about 50 years in southern France during the Albigensian heresy (13th century).

Oh please, have you ever read Fox's Book of Martyrs? The list is endless! And don't you dare label what the Albigense's did "heresy." Since when is it heresy to try to worship and love God as the scriptures call for?

I prefer actual history, not propaganda, thanks.

And don't you dare label what the Albigense's did "heresy."

Are we talking about the same people? The folks in southern France who taught that matter was evil, that childbirth was evil, and an acceptable way to exit this life was by ritual suicide?

You think they "loved God as the scriptures call for"?? Seriously?
