Before he was as a Catholic priest, Archbishop Thomas Cranmer (architect of Protestant English Reformation) married, but his wife died in childbirth within a year. I don’t know if the child survived or not. After becoming ordained as a priest, Cranmer “married” again (an impossibility in Roman canon law), and he kept the union a secret for his first fourteen years of his archbishopric!

Cranmer was a rotten apple long before Henry VIII tapped him for leadership.
