Oh honey, during the Inquisition they really pulled out all the stops. We're talking about torture devices like the rack, the Iron Maiden, and let's not forget everyone's favorite, good old-fashioned burning at the stake. They weren't messing around back then, that's for sure.
1536. He lived from 1494-1536 1494- 6th October 1536. he was strangled and then burnt on the stake. Poor guy :-(
Queen mary, threy were accused of heresy.
The reason why they killed Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley was in order to scare the Protestants into conforming to Catholicism. Mary I of England sentenced them to being burnt on a stake.
Queen Mary or Bloody Mary was the one who killed the now martys Latimer and Ridley. they were killed at the stake in the centre of Oxford.
yes, and they were burnt at stake for being them too because mary wished to bring back catholicism and they were refusing and attemtping to prevent her
They were 2 bishops from the Tudor reign who were murdered :) ridleys brother was the one who draped 2 bags of gunpowder around their necks and then set fire to the stake.
Latimer and Ridley were both Anglican clerics and martyrs, burnt on 16 October 1555 by Queen "Bloody" Mary because they refused to recant and return to the Roman Catholic faith. Latimer prayed at great length while Ridley writhed and screamed. Latimer said to him, in a famous quotation, "Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man: we shall this day light such a candle by God's grace in England, as I trust shall never be put out."

Nicholas Ridley, Bishop of Rochester and later Bishop of London was burned at the stake in Oxford on 16th October 1555. His execution was for his opposition to authority of the Pope in England.
Later Captain Beatty reveals the context of the quote, explaining, "A man named Latimer said that to a man named Nicholas Ridley, as they were being burnt alive at Oxford, for heresy, on October 16, 1555." (pg. 40) This indicates the woman's willingness to die for her books, and that the reason she was being burned was for heresy just as Latimer and Ridley were. Beatty's ability to explain this also adds depth to his character, as he must have read that information to recall what it came from.
In Fahrenheit 451, Master Ridley is not a character. The character of Master Ridley is actually based on a historical figure named Nicholas Ridley, who was an English bishop and the principal engineer behind the concept of burning the heretics at the stake. The reference to Master Ridley in the novel serves to emphasize the brutality and intolerance of the society depicted in the story.
