Henry VIII disemboweled 3 Catholics and burn 3 Lutherans at the stake in 1540

Step-by-step explanation:

Henry VIII was responsible for some of the worst crimes against Catholics and anyone that was not protestant when he made the English nation officially protestant and then enforced the religion upon everyone in the nation.

There were many that refused to convert to the Calvinistic mode and thus had to go to the stake.

This included some of Lutherans who believed int he work of Martin Luther and some Catholics and this was the beginning of fanaticism in England for a long time.
