John Brett (fl. 1556) was a messenger for Mary I of England when she tried to have the Marian exiles returned to England. His chronicle survives, and gives us detailed information on this episode.[1]
His chronicle is entitled, A Narrative of the Pursuit of English Refugees in Germany Under Queen Mary but is often known simply as Brett's Chronicle or Brett's Narrative.
