Contributing Institution: Southern Methodist University Bridwell Library and Ohio State University Libraries Description: On a platform outside Vilvorde Castle, near modern-day Brussels, Tyndale ("Lord ope[n] the king of Englands eies." ["Lord, open the king of England's eyes"]) stands chained to a stake. An executioner strangles Tyndale, who is dressed in loincloth. A crowd of soldiers, monks, and civilians observes the execution.
