In the course of 15th and 16th century his presence left a long story of a significant influence in the most valuable fields of every society, education and religion.
He had a strategy to assemble funds and attract to Cambridge leading scholars from Europe, promoting the study not only of Classical Latin and Greek authors, but of Hebrew.
He placed great weight upon pastoral commitment. Fisher's foundations were also dedicated
to prayer for the dead, especially through chantry
foundations. He dedicated all his personal
resources and energies to the vision of his own. A scholar and a priest, humble and
conscientious, he managed despite occasional opposition to administer a
whole university, one of only two in England. He conceived and saw
through long-term projects.
Courageous and righteous he did not fear the royal anger, disparaged Parliament, a true hero of his time..
