William Tyndale was executed by burning at the stake in 1536 for his role in translating The Bible into English and distributing it without the approval of the Church. His translation work was viewed as heretical by religious authorities, particularly because it challenged the church's control over scripture and promoted individual interpretation. Tyndale's efforts were seen as a threat to the established religious order, leading to his arrest and subsequent execution. His martyrdom ultimately contributed to the spread of Reformation ideas and the eventual acceptance of English translations of the Bible.
