I would agree. Calvin, I believe, burned Lutherans in Geneva; I
wouldn't know whether Lutherans returned the compliment. Cranmer, the
principal author of the Book of Common Prayer, was much influenced by
Zwingli - one of very few people to be so influenced. William Laud and
his party in the seventeenth century were accused of being "Arminian"
(i.e. followers of the Dutch reformer Jacobus Arminius) by the
Puritans.
