English Wikipedia, viewed March 8th, 2024 (Thomas Stapleton (born in Henfield, Sussex, July 1535, died in Leuven, October 12th, 1598) was an English Catholic priest and controversialist. He was appointed public professor of divinity, and canon of St. Amatus; and together with Allen he completed the degree of D.D. on 10 July 1571. In 1584 he resigned these preferments to enter the Society of Jesus, but did not complete his novitiate, and returned to Douai. Philip II of Spain appointed him professor of Scripture at the Catholic University of Leuven in 1590, to which office a canonry in St. Peter's Church was annexed; and soon after he was made dean of Hilverenbeeck in the Roman Catholic Diocese of 's-Hertogenbosch. (...) His first works were translations... His original works were very numerous...: Apologia pro rege Philippo II (Constance, 1592), published under the punning pseudonym of Didymus Veridicus Henfildanus, i.e., Thomas the Stable-toned [truth-speaking] Henfieldite)
