On 6 October 1557, John Capon, also known as John Salcot, died, probably of influenza. His career charts the shifting winds of Tudor religion: Benedictine monk, abbot, court preacher, reformer under Henry VIII and Edward VI, and Catholic persecutor under Mary I. Was he a survivor, an opportunist, or both? In today’s “On This Day” we explore how one bishop’s career became a case study in Tudor adaptability.
