Answer
William Tyndale, the English Protestant scholar, was executed by strangulation and subsequently burnt at the stake. This brutal end to his life occurred in 1536, as a consequence of his unwavering commitment to translating the Bible into English and making it accessible to the common people. Tyndale's translation, known as the Tyndale Bible, challenged the authority of the Catholic Church, which held exclusive control over religious texts at that time.
