George Cromer was appointed Archbishop of Armagh in 1522 and Lord Chancellor in 1532. He was active in denouncing Henry VIII's decrees against the Church and was subsequently removed from the chancellorship. He and his followers were fervent in their allegiance to the pope, but in 1539 he was suspended by the Holy See and once more was favoured by the king.
