Christopher Goodman and John Knox were 16th century famous theologians and reformers, who were well-known for their radical resistence against the authority of English Queen Mary Tudor and Scottish Queen-Regent Mary de Guise. During the years they spent in exile, they wrote their most famoust works – How Superior Powers Ought To Be Obeyed By Their Subjects: And Wherein They May Lawfully By God ́s Word Be Disobeyed And Resisted and The First Blast of Trumpet against the Monstrous Regiment of Women. The main subject of this research is a comparison of already mentioned writings, while the main emphasis is placed on the comparison of common topics – that means criticism of women rulers, their illegitimate origins, succession rights and relationship with foreigners, and theory of legitimate defence against bad rulers
