Page became involved in the case of John Stubbs and his pamphlet A Gaping Gulf, objecting to the proposed marriage between Queen Elizabeth I and Francis, Duke of Anjou, a Roman Catholic who was the brother of the King of France. Intent on distributing copies through Sir Richard Grenville, Page was tried with Stubbs and the publisher Hugh Singleton. Page and Stubbs could have been sentenced to death, but instead had their right hands cut off.[2][3]
