Queen mary, threy were accused of heresy.
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.
He died for his religious beliefs...He and Nicholas Ridley were martyrs.

Latimer and Ridley were both Anglican clerics and martyrs, burnt on 16 October 1555 by Queen "Bloody" Mary because they refused to recant and return to the Roman Catholic faith. Latimer prayed at great length while Ridley writhed and screamed. Latimer said to him, in a famous quotation, "Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man: we shall this day light such a candle by God's grace in England, as I trust shall never be put out."
They were 2 bishops from the Tudor reign who were murdered :) ridleys brother was the one who draped 2 bags of gunpowder around their necks and then set fire to the stake.
Hugh Latimer was bishop to both the Worchester (before the reformation) as well as a bishop of the Church of England and Chaplain to King Edward VI. Latimer was burned at the stake for his beliefs and teachings under the reign of Mary I and Nicholas Ridley was his executioner. He is believed to have made this quote prior to his death.
Hugh Latimer's birth name is Hugh Alexander Forbes Latimer.
