George Gervase, OSB (1571 – 11 April 1608) was an English Catholic priest of the Order of St. Benedict who worked as a missionary in England during the period of recusancy. He was martyred at Tyburn. George Gervase was born in Bosham, Sussex. He was left an orphan when he was twelve years of age, and soon after kidnapped by pirates, (probably a lieutenant of Drake, who was then buccaneering on the Spanish Main), and was taken to the West Indies with two of his brothers. He remained in captivity over twelve years. He lost his Catholic religion during that period; but, when at last he was able to return to England, and found that his eldest brother Henry had become a voluntary exile in Flanders in order to be able to practice his religion, George followed him there, and was soon reconciled w
