He was tried in Launceston. The authorities sought a death sentence but had no legal standing for such. While there would later be an Act of Parliament making it a capital offense to receive ordination abroad, there was no such law extant. Therefore, Mayne was accused of saying mass, having a papal bull for the jubilee, wearing an Agnus Dei, and denying the spiritual supremacy of the Queen. The latter was the most significant charge, as, since Henry VIII, the monarch was the head of the established church, and therefore to answer to any other spiritual power was, in essence, to speak treason. Mayne was found guilty and sentenced to death. He was executed at Launceston on November 29, 1577.
