George Cromer

George Cromer (died 16 March 1542) was Archbishop of Armagh and Primate of All Ireland in the reign of Henry VIII of England, from 1521/2. He was English by birth, a descendant of the Cromer (also spelt Crowemer) family of Tunstall, Kent and Cromer, Norfolk. Caught up in Henry's Reformation of the Church of England, he was deprived of his See of Armagh. He continued in place as Archbishop of Armagh, despite suspicions from Henry about his true beliefs and despite being suspended by the Pope on a charge of heresy.
