Sir Thomas More
Sir Thomas More (7 February 1478 – 6 July 1535), venerated in the Catholic
Church as Saint Thomas More, was an English lawyer, social philosopher, author,
statesman, and noted Renaissance humanist. He was also a councilor to Henry VIII,
and Lord High Chancellor of England from October 1529 to 16 May 1532. He wrote
Utopia, published in 1516, about the political system of an imaginary, ideal island
nation.
In October, 1529 More succeeded Cardinal Wolsey as Chancellor of England
- a post that had never been occupied by a layman. More was not at all sympathetic
towards the heretics he prosecuted as part of his duties. In the end, More suffered
from religious persecution himself. In 1532, More
resigned from his position
because he disagreed with Henry VIII's elevation to a position as head of the church
in England. More was imprisoned in the infamous Tower of London and accused of
treason. More was executed in 1535.
More opposed the Protestant Reformation, in particular the theology of Martin
Luther and William Tyndale. More also opposed the king's separation from the
Catholic Church, refusing to acknowledge Henry as Supreme Head of the Church of
England and the annulment of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon. After refusing
to take the Oath of Supremacy, he was convicted of treason and beheaded. Of his
execution, he was reported to have said: "I die the King's good servant, and God's
first."
By 1510, More was a famous lawyer and he became Under-Sheriff of London.
In the next ten years, More enters the King's service and receives a pension of 100
pounds for life. More
travels to Flanders and Calais, France to protect British
commercial interests and serve in an ambassadorial role. In 1516,
Utopia is
published in Louvain and this is More's most successful work.
