Episode 279: The Fall of Thomas More

Thomas More was once one of Henry VIII’s closest friends and most
trusted advisors—a brilliant scholar, lawyer, and devout
Catholic. But when Henry broke from Rome to marry Anne Boleyn,
More’s refusal to support the king’s supremacy over the Church
sealed his fate. In this episode, we dive into More’s rise to
power, his moral and religious convictions, and the chain of
events that led to his arrest, trial, and execution in 1535.
