On location and sets for St. Edmund Campion

Some cast members of St. Edmund Campion

Saint Edmund Campion

St. Edmund Campion was a friend to Queen Elizabeth I who converted from Protestantism and entered the Catholic seminary at Douai, France.  As a young Jesuit priest, St. Edmund Campion entered England in 1581 to bring the Sacraments to the English Catholics. He wrote his famous Brag and Ten Reasons, was hunted, arrested and racked, subjected to unjust debates and an unfair trial and was hung, drawn and quartered at Tyburn for being a Catholic priest.

Queen Elizabeth I

After establishing her official Church of England, the Queen sought out young intelligent men to be her ministers. She shaped St. Edmund Campion into a loyal protestant and was bitterly angry to learn of his conversion. She outlawed the Catholic priesthood in England under pain of a gruesome execution and persecuted the Catholics of England with fines, imprisonments, beheadings and hangings during England's 'Golden Years'. When St. Edmund Campion returned to England as a Jesuit priest she had him hunted, captured, tortured, tried and finally hung, drawn and quartered at Tyburn in 1581.

King Henry VIII

The Catholic King apostasized from the Catholic Church and established his own Church of England of which he was the Supreme Head, wishing to rule his subjects in matters of religion as well as State. He made it a law to have to accept his authority over the Pope's and executed the English men and women that refused.  He 'married' and divorced/beheaded six wives leaving his daughter Elizabeth to continue and indeed take to extremes his intentions.

Pope Gregory XIII

The Holy Father gave St. Edmund Campion and his companions his blessing before they set out for England to take the outlawed Sacraments into the Country to the Catholics suffering there.
