Bartholomew Legate (c. 1575 – 18 March 1612) was an English anti-Trinitarian martyr.Legate was born in Essex and became a dealer in cloth. In the 1590s, Bartholomew and his two brothers, Walter and Thomas, began preaching around the London area. Their unorthodox message rejected the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of England and their rituals. The brothers’ views probably influenced the emergence of the Seekers.Together with his brother Thomas, he was put in prison for heresy in 1611.
