| Summary: | Protestant and Catholic martyrologies evolved in dialogue; however, they did not articulate a common conception of martyrdom.

This argument is examined through an analysis of the treatment of martyrs' blood in English martyrological texts, since this encapsulated core confessional theologies. |
