| Summary: | Among the sources which relate the history of the 18 Carthusian martyrs of the English Reformation, the Historia aliquot Martyrum Anglorum maxime octodecim Cartusianorum, by Dom Maurice Chauncy (d. 1581), undoubtedly holds a primary place. Although many twenty-first-century readers may not find Chauncy's literary and hagiographical style particularly appealing, he was, after all, a man of his time. More importantly, however, Chauncy composed a largely accurate and moving account of the martyrdom under King Henry VIII (between 1535 and 1540) of his fellow monks, who were predominantly from the London charterhouse. He also gave full value to the spiritual significance of the martyrdoms and the events leading up to them, which is something which needs to be better appreciated today. |
