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.
