Page "Joan Bocher" Paragraph 4

Some well-known stories about Bocher were first recounted by Robert Parsons in 1599: for instance, Joan's friendship with Anne Askew and her involvement in smuggling Tyndale's New Testament into England, and into the royal court under her skirts.

According to Parsons in A temperate ward-word, he had learned these things from someone who had been present at her trial.
