Thomas Cranmer.

As Archbishop of Canterbury he authored the Book of Common Prayer, led the production/authorization of the Great Bible (drawing on Tyndale/Coverdale translations), and drafted the doctrinal Articles (the early “Forty/ Forty‑two” Articles) that were later revised into the Thirty‑nine Articles.
