"The year is shown as 1538 and the location as Cheapside in London.
According to The Tudors, leading Protestant Robert Packington is shot dead in broad daylight on a crowded thoroughfare after demanding arogantly that some common man get out of his way.
Robert Packington was shot around 4 am on November 13th on one of the foggiest mornings in living memory as he crossed a deserted Cheapside on his way to morning mass at the Mercer's Chapel nearby. No one witnessed the murder although labourers in Soper Street heard the shot. It was in 1536 and probably at the command of disgruntled clergy opposed to Cramner's and Cromwell's new Protestant Church. Lady Rose Locke-Hickman writes vividly about it in her own memoirs, and how frightened it made her mother as it happened almost outside of her own house"
