The fact that he was executed for condemning Henry VIII also makes the lead sentence of this article false: “a passion for which he ultimately gave his life.”

That Tyndale wrote a treatise condemning Henry's intended divorce, was not why he was executed. A simple search online would show you that he was tried for "heresy" and it was the "Holy Roman Empire" which arrested and executed him. Here are a few starting points: http://www.luminarium.org/renlit/tyndalebio.htm and http://www.biographyonline.net/spiritual/william-tyndale.html.
