Definition: Edwards1 refers to a specific year in the Bible, specifically 35 years after Jesus Christ's death. The reference here is to the 12th century AD, where John the Baptist was arrested for his religious beliefs but released under threat of severe punishment by King Henry VIII. This episode has been used throughout Christian tradition as an allegory or metaphorical reference to the idea that divine kingship may end in sin and corruption (not just death).
