By coincidence, we watched a Netflix DVD on Wycliffe last night.
"Got into trouble" for (translating the Bible into English) is a very polite version of events, Sharon!
Did you know that Wycliffe's signature was recorded (along with Martin Luther earlier) in the student roll book at Wurttemberg where he went to escape the English? (The Germans had no laws against translating the Bible but the English severely punished those who tried to do it.)
HIs knowledge of many different languages was phenomenal, and his ability to write clear, accurate and poetical English prose was rivaled only by Shakespeare according to the film's producers. Most of the phrases used in the King James Bible produced later were actually coined by Wycliffe.
An hour spent in front of the telly, and now I think I'm an expert!
