John Véron (died 1563) was a French Protestant controversialist and preacher, known for his activities in England. ==Life== He styled himself Senonensis, implying he was born at or near Sens. He studied at Orléans in 1534, and about 1536 settled in England: his letters of denisation, 2 July 1544, state that he had been eight years in that country, that he had been a student at Cambridge (apparently without graduating), and that he was, and intended continuing to be, a tutor. In 1550 he had moved to Worcester. On 21 August 1551 he was ordained deacon by Nicholas Ridley at Fulham, and on the 29th of the same month he received priest's orders. He was instituted on 3 January 1552 to the rectory of St Alphage, Cripplegate. He witnessed, or was in some way implicated in, the uproar at Paul's Cross, which led on 16 August 1553 to the arrest of John Bradford; Véron was also committed to the Tower of London, both being styled seditious preachers. Ridley, writing to Bradford in 1554, inquired for Véron, who in 1554 was deprived of his benefice and remained a prisoner till Queen Elizabeth's accession. On his release he became a preacher at Paul's Cross, was appointed prebendary of St Paul's Cathedral on 8 November 1559, rector of St Martin, Ludgate, on 8 March 1560, and vicar of St Sepulchre on 21 October 1560, preferments he held till his death. On 8 October 1559 he preached before the queen at Whitehall, when he urged that Protestant bishops should retain the old temporalities of their sees, so as to live in proper style. Aspersions were cast on his character, and on 2 November 1561 a man did penance at Paul's Cross for calumniating Véron, while on the 23rd of the same month Henry Machyn had also publicly to apologise. John Strype describes him as a courageous and eloquent preacher. On 1 March 1562 Véron certified to the privy council the accuracy of a translation of a French pamphlet against Catholicism, which there was an idea of publishing in England. He died on 9 April 1563, and was buried in St. Paul's, but seems to have had no tombstone. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Véron」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
