Short answers, pulled from the story.
Simon Fish died in 1531 after contracting bubonic plague before he could stand trial for heresy. He was arrested in London on charges of heresy but fell ill with the disease prior to facing a court hearing.
Simon Fish wrote the vehemently anti-clerical pamphlet titled Supplication for the Beggars during his second exile in Antwerp. The work accused the Roman Catholic Church of avarice, murder, and treason while arguing that clergy held half of England's wealth.
St. Thomas More produced a response entitled The Supplycatyon of Soulys which was printed by October 1529. This two-book rebuttal addressed the social concerns raised by Fish and defended the doctrine of purgatory against Fish's claims.
The Roman Catholic Church condemned Simon Fish's Supplication for the Beggars as heretical on the 24th of May 1530. This condemnation occurred after the pamphlet was smuggled into England from Antwerp where it had been printed.
Simon Fish's pamphlet is known to have been reprinted five times in the nineteenth century and twice in the twentieth century. These repeated printings demonstrate sustained interest in the piece despite its initial banned status within England.
