Between 1535 and 1603, English Catholics numbering 239 were executed by the state for treason. Drawing on an extraordinary range of contemporary sources, Anne Dillon examines the way in which these executions were transformed into acts of martyrdom through written accounts edited by Catholics for the purposes of shaping Catholic identity and encouraging recusancy. Particularly potent was use of visual means to convey martyrdom. Through an examination of the work of Richard Verstegan and the martyr murals of the English College in Rome, the book explores the influence of these images on the Counter Reformation Church, the Jesuits, and the political intentions of English Catholics in exile and those of their hosts. Verstegan used the English martyrs in his Theatrum crudelitatum of 1587 to rally support from Catholics on the Continent for a Spanish invasion of England to overthrow Elizabeth I and her government. The English martyr was, Dillon argues, as much a construction of international, political rhetoric as it was of English religious and political debate.
