The reason why they killed Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley was in order to scare the Protestants into conforming to Catholicism. Mary I of England sentenced them to being burnt on a stake.
Mary Tudor, also known as Bloody Mary and Mary I the queen of England from 1516-1558, was responsible for the burning Hugh Latimer and Nicholas Ridley. Mary was a fervent Catholic and killed them because they rejected some tenements of Catholicism such as the doctrine of transubstantiation.
