Thomas Norton the parliament man

Open All Close All

http://schema.org/description

  • "Thomas Norton can be numbered among the universal men of the England of Queen Elizabeth I - those who combined action with literary, intellectual and artistic accomplishment. Norton was a scholar, poet and translator, the author of racy polemical pamphlets, and the co-author of Gorboduc, the first blank verse tragedy in England. He was at the same time an active Protestant religious reformer and an ardent anti-Catholic: indeed during his lifetime he acquired a certain notoriety as 'Rackmaster Norton', who interrogated Catholics under torture in order to uncover actual or intended treason. Sometimes his enthusiasms landed him in trouble, including a spell in the Tower."
