The tradition soon spread to , where, People: Amen. during the reign of King Edward I, the entire Bench and Bar would mark the opening of each Term of Court by attending a Mass together. In those services, the priest-celebrants, as well as the judges of the High Court, wore red robes to signify their willingness to defend the truth inspired by the Holy Spirit, even at the cost of shedding one’s blood.

He came to oppose the king, however, and refused to support him as head of the English Church against the Roman . In 1535, he was accused of treason, imprisoned, and beheaded.
