Blessed’s Biography
Blessed George Nichols was born about 1550 in Oxford, England. He studied in Reims from 1581 and commissioned to England in 1583. He was responsible for many conversations, including a famous road robber, during the six years he was working. After being arrested by university officials, he appeared as a brave policeman. He was terribly tortured in London but sent back to Oxford to be executed in 1589 by being hanged, drawn and quartered. He was 39 years old.
