Ulrich Zwingli; a Swiss reformer. Or you could try Jan Hus, a reformer from Bohemia who was burnt at the stake for his beliefs.

William Tyndale; translated the New Testament into english from the greek. Burned at the stake for heresy before he could finish translating the Old Testament. The King James Bible is for the most part a copy of Tyndale's translation. Had as large an impact on the shaping of the english language as Shakespeare.

You have John written above with no last name. Do you mean John Knox?
If he's one that you meant to write, how about James Arminius. He is a 17th century reformer who broke away from Calvinist doctrine. He was a contemporary and friend of William Laud, Archbishop of Canterbury during the reign of Charles I of England. Unlike the Calvinists who believed that your fate was predestined prior to birth, Arminius and his followers wanted to bring free-will back into the equation.
