Born in 1528; died at York, England, on August 22, 1572; beatified in
1896. Thomas was the son of Sir Thomas Percy, who was hanged at Tyburn
in 1537 as one of the leaders of the Pilgrimage of Grace. The son
became earl of Northumberland in 1557. He served Queen Mary during her
reign and, in 1558, married Anne Somerset, daughter of the earl of
Worcester. They had four children. Though viewed with suspicion by
Queen Elizabeth I's court because of his Catholicism, the queen
bestowed on him the Order of the Garter, one of England's highest
honors, in 1563. He supported Mary, Queen of Scots, when she took
refuge at Carlisle in 1568. He and Charles Neville, earl of
Westmoreland, refused to appear before Elizabeth when ordered to do so
in 1569 and became the leaders of what came to be known as the Rising
of the North. They were defeated by the royal troops led by the earl
of Sussex, who destroyed towns and hanged hundreds to avenge the
uprising. Percy fled to Scotland but was captured by the earl of
Moray, the Scottish regent. He was imprisoned at Lochleven Castle for
nearly three years until the earl of Mar became regent and sold him to
Elizabeth for 2,000 pounds. He was taken to York, offered his freedom
IF HE WOULD APOSTACIZE TO PROTESTANTISM, and when he refused, was
beheaded (Benedictines, Delaney).

'From this then, we draw up our demurrer: If the Lord Jesus Christ sent the
Apostles to preach, no others ought to be received except those appointed
by Christ. For no one knows the Father except the Son, and to him whom
the Son gives a revelation. Nor does it seem that the Son has given revelation
to any others than the Apostles, whom He sent forth to preach what He
revealed to them.'
- Tertullian, The Prescription [Demurrer] Against the Heretics: (200 A.D.)
(This is a Pre-Constantine source and like in all other instances that I am able to find
- there is no difference between the Pre and Post Constantine practice.
In other words, Constantine didn't change this doctrine)
