The supremacy, and as they represented respectively the Fisher most pious of the monastic orders, the most upright and God-fearing of the existinc; prelates, and the spirit of lay More, , . ° . . , , r, . culture, it was impossible for the government to ignore an opposition that was certain to be contagious. Fisher had been confessor to Lady Margaret, the mother of Henry vii. , and had incited her to found St. John's and Christ's Colleges at Cambridge, and the Lady Margaret professorships of di...vinity. He was in high favour at Rome, and when the news of his arrest reached the pope, a cardinal's hat was foolishly bestowed upon him to the great indignation of Henry. Osten- sibly Fisher's only fault was his reluctance to accept the supremacy, but it is certain that he had written to the pope advising an armed invasion of England — an act of undoubted treason. In the case of all these malcontents Henry would certainly have been glad to find a means of mercy, but their firmness was inexhaustible, and eventually ten of the Charter House monks were hanged.
