Sir Thomas More was an English lawyer, judge, social philosopher, author, statesman, amateur theologian, and noted Renaissance humanist. He served as Lord High Chancellor of England under Henry VIII and wrote “Utopia” in 1516. More opposed the Protestant Reformation, Henry VIII’s separation from the Catholic Church, and refused to acknowledge Henry as the head of the Church of England. He was convicted of treason for refusing to take the Oath of Supremacy and was executed as a martyr in 1535.
