1548 is generally accepted as the year when Thomas Sternhold published his first collection of 19 Psalms. Sternhold had expressed his intent to versify more of the Psalms, but he died shortly after the first edition was published. When Mary became Queen in 1553, many Protestants fled to Geneva where they came into contact with John Calvin and the French tradition Psalms and music. The refugees brought Sternhold's Psalms with them and four Geneva editions were produced, all containing the Sternhold and Hopkins original 44 Psalms.
