Nicholas Hereford

Nicholas studied at the University of Oxford, and was ordained a priest in 1370 and earned in 1382 the degree of Doctor of Theology.[3] Nicholas criticized the luxury of the Church and reaffirmed the right of every Christian to attain his own faith by reading the Bible.He immediately traveled to Rome to appeal his excommunication before Pope Urban VI, but was imprisoned.Upon his return, however, he was re-imprisoned by William Courtenay, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and his writings were confiscated and destroyed by order of King Richard II of England.You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.This biographical article about an English academic administrator is a stub.
