Robert Benet was the Mayor of Windsor, England in 1536.
Benet was a zealous Protestant who fell foul of William Simonds, an equally zealous Catholic in Windsor, who had a powerful friend in Bishop Gardiner's agent, Dr John London.
[1] Benet was arrested in 1543, along with four others.
He was condemned to death but, unlike the three Windsor Martyrs, escaped being burnt because he was unwell!
