The primary person responsible was William Tydale during the early 1500's. The Bible was forbidden to be translated into anything but Latin during the time the Church at Rome ruled. However, Tyndale took the works of people like Wycliffe and others and finished a remarkable feat of translation into English while imprisoned in dark and devastating conditions. He was later burned at the stake for his disobedience that was classified as heresy and treason. However, his last prayer before his execution was answered just a few short years later. Tyndale prayed that the eyes of the King would be opened and that he would allow the Bible to be printed in English throughout England. Today the King James Bibles is said to be more than 85% Tyndale while much of our American language is classic Tyndale. Furthermore, without Tyndale, there would have been no Shakespeare, for he himself adored the language of William Tyndale.
