The name "George Lazenbye" ...Kaor, Paul!<br /><br />The name "George Lazenbye" seemed familiar to me, reminding me of a Dom George Laysinbye, a monk of Jervaulx Abbey in Henry VIII's time. On July 11, 1535, agents of the king arrived to demand that the monks swear to the "Royal Supremacy," and agree that the King was Supreme Head of the Church of England (as decreed by the Act of Supremacy of 1534). One of the monks, Dom George laysinbye, objected to the sermon denying the authority of the Bishop of Rome, saying that the Pope "...had the most authority in all the above all other bishops." Needless to say, for this defiance, Dom George was arrested, and at his interrogation declared, "we must all be obedient unto the head of the militant church...the pope...and that he neither can nor will take the king's highness for to be the only and supreme head of the Church of England immediately on earth under God" (quotes from THE REFORMATION IN ENGLAND, Vol. 1, by Philip Hughes, SJ, Macmillan, Fifth edition, 1963, page 290). Dom George was arrested and imprisoned for his defiance of the Supremacy, and probably executed, altho I've been unable to find further details about him.<br /><br />SeanSean M.
