Tyndale’s bible was horribly mistranslated, and he was captured and killed (1536) by the then-protestant (1534) Henry VIII.
I’d be curious what passages he horribly mistranslated. Much of his work ended up in the KJV. Mind you - I know very little about the man & his work. However, I think you would have to agree that the Catholic Church wasn’t exactly on the forefront in getting the Bible translated into common languages.
And yes, Henry VIII was responsible for his death - Tyndale had the nerve to attack his divorce of Catherine of Aragon as contrary to scripture. Good for Tyndale!
