Canterbury as the primatial see of England was a key location for Marian martyrdoms under Archbishop Pole. The burning of Protestant clergy and laypeople at the spiritual heart of English Christianity was intended to signal the completeness of the Catholic restoration. The Canterbury burnings included notable victims and were well documented in Foxes Acts and Monuments.
