| aint Thomas More was born in London on February 7, probably | |
| in 1477, but perhaps in 1478. He studied at Oxford University | |
| and began his legal career in 1494, and became an under-sheriff | |
| of London in 1510. By 1518 he had entered the service of King | |
| Henry VIII as royal councilor and ambassador. He was knighted | |
| and made under-treasurer in 1521, and was chancellor of the | |
| Duchy of Lancaster from 1525 to 1529. </font></h3> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> | |
| <h3><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif"> | |
| <P>He became lord chancellor after Cardinal Wolsey was dismissed | |
| late in 1529. At that time, Henry VIII was engaged in a | |
| bitter battle with the Roman Catholic Church. He wanted | |
| to divorce Catherine of Aragon so he could marry Anne Boleyn. | |
| More resigned his office because he could not support the | |
| king's policy against the pope. In April, 1534, More was | |
| imprisoned for refusing to swear to the Oath of Supremacy, | |
| the preamble to a law called the Act of Succession. The | |
| oath stated that Henry VIII ranked above all foreign rulers, | |
| including the pope. More was convicted of high treason on | |
| perjured (falsely sworn) evidence and was beheaded outside | |
| the Tower of London on July 6, 1535. Thomas More has since | |
| become an example of the individual who places conscience | |
| above the claims of secular authority. It was because of | |
| these strong beliefs and his martyrdom that the Catholic | |
| Church declared him a saint in 1935. </P> | |
| <P>More's personality combined intense concern for the problems | |
| of his day and spiritual detachment from worldly affairs. | |
| He was a devoted family man, and lived a plain, simple, | |
| private life. He was famed for his merry wit. Yet to the | |
| people of his day, More was a contradictory figure - merriest | |
| when he seemed saddest and saddest when he appeared most | |
| happy. He was also a patron of the arts. His friends included | |
| the humanist Erasmus and the artist Hans Holbein. </P> | |
| <P>More's sympathetic philosophy is best reflected in Utopia | |
| (written in Latin in 1516). Utopia is an account of an ideal | |
| society, with justice and equality for all citizens. </P> | |
