um, Cromwell?

Who did Cromwell burn at the stake for being a Catholic, or in his terms a heretic?

I'm not saying Cromwell was always a nice guy, but he didn't burn heretics.

No, he just dispossesed and oppressed Irish Catholics. Saying the Mass was a crime. "Heresy," "treason," and "Catholic" were synonymous.

Sorry, must clarify: "killed ... for treason, not for being Catholic."

That's what I was arguing for, or about. I see you're going for the burning part. Don't know about that, I was just going for the sanctioned-killing-on-religious-grounds part.

Thus, Cromwell.
