What major things happened to this person during their life: by age 12, he was employed by the bishop as a clerk and received thetonsure, cutting his hair to symbolise his dedication to the Church. In 1525 or 1526, Gérard withdrew his son from the Collège de Montaigu and enrolled him in the University of Orléans to study law. According to contemporary biographers Theodore Beza and Nicolas Colladon, Gérard believed his son would earn more money as a lawyer than as a priest.[4] After a few years of quiet study, Calvin entered the University of Bourges in 1529. He was intrigued by Andreas Alciati, a humanist lawyer. Humanism was a European intellectual movement which stressed classical studies. During his 18-month stay in Bourges, Calvin learned Greek, a necessity for studying the New Testament.[5]

What major things happened to this person during their life: In 1519, he specifically rejected the veneration of saints and called for the need to distinguish between their true and fictional accounts. He cast doubts on hellfire, asserted that unbaptised children were not damned, and questioned the power of excommunication. When Sanson arrived at the gates of Zurich at the end of January 1519, parishioners prompted he with questions. He responded with displeasure that the people were not being properly informed about the conditions of the indulgence and were being induced to part with their money on false pretences. This was over a year after Martin Luther published his Ninety-five theses (31 October 1517). Zwingli's primary schooling was provided by his uncle, Bartholomew, a cleric in Weesen. At ten years old, Zwingli was sent to Basel to obtain his secondary education where he learned Latin under Magistrate Gregory Bünzli. After three years in Basel, he stayed a short time in Bern with the humanist, Henry Wölfflin. The Dominicans in Bern tried to persuade Zwingli to join their order and it is possible that he was received as a novice.[6] However, his father and uncle disapproved of such a course and he left Bern without completing his Latin studies.[7] He enrolled in the University of Vienna in the winter semester of 1498 but was expelled, according to the university's records.

What major things happened to this person during their life: He was born in 1703 in Epworth, 23 miles (37 km) northwest of Lincoln, the fifteenth child of Samuel ... and his wife Susanna ... (née Annesley). His parents had both become members of the established Church of England early in adulthood. At the age of five, he was rescued from the burning rectory. This escape made a deep impression on his mind, and he regarded himself as providentially set apart, as a "brand plucked from the burning" quoting Zechariah 3:2. In 1714, at age 11, he was sent to the Charterhouse School in London (under the mastership of John King from 1715) In June 1720, he entered Christ Church College, Oxford. He allied himself with the Moravian society in Fetter Lane.
