Sir Thomas More - Historic UK

On October 26, 1529, Sir Thomas More was appointed Lord Chancellor of England. An excerpt from the article:

"“I die the king’s faithful servant, but God’s first”.

No sentence better summarises a man who dedicated himself to the service of the Crown and was destined to be venerated as a saint by the Catholic Church.

Sir Thomas More lived in Tudor England. He held a variety of roles including lawyer, Chancellor, Member of Parliament and writer. His influence on many of these fields was quite remarkable, particularly his famous text, “Utopia”.

Sadly for More, his life ended in a dramatic and characteristically Tudor fashion when he refused to acknowledge King Henry VIII’s divorce as well as the drastic break of the English church from Rome.

A devout defender of the Catholic Church, More felt he could no longer serve as Chancellor to Henry VIII and resigned his position. Unfortunately, this was the beginning of the end for More, who continued to argue against Protestantism and thus was tried and executed in July 1535."
