Edward Isaac

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Edward Isaac was an influential 16th-century English Protestant and Marian exile. He was a lay supporter of John Bland.[1] He resided at Well Court in Ickham and Well, Kent.[2]

Isaac helped Edwin Sandys leave England, sending his son to accompany him to Antwerp.[2] Mary I of England arranged for eleven of the exiles to be arrested for sedition, including Isaac.[3] Isaac himself left for Strasburg, where he was one of the group opposed to John Knox.[2]
