Tindal
    n 1: English translator and Protestant martyr; his translation
         of the Bible into English (which later formed the basis for
         the King James Version) aroused ecclesiastical opposition;
         he left England in 1524 and was burned at the stake in
         Antwerp as a heretic (1494-1536) [syn: {Tyndale}, {William
         Tyndale}, {Tindale}, {William Tindale}, {Tindal}, {William
         Tindal}]
