on the nose for joan = burnt as a catholic martyr in 1431!
but the oxford martyrs are 1555-56, which is not 140 years distant

and i think an earlier protestant martyr burnt in england would make more sense: 1415 (year of agincourt)

I think Joan is iii, though!

"Joan was found guilty and was burnt at the stake in Rouen's Old Market on May 30, 1431.

Twenty five years after her trial and execution, Pope Callistus III set a formal retrial (known as a Trial of Rehabilitation). The result was that Joan's 1431 trial was declared irregular - that is, Joan was exonerated by the Church."
