Video - The Courageous Stand of Thomas More

The Betrayal of Thomas More Sir Thomas More was a man of principle and intellect in 16th-century England. Serving as a trusted advisor to King Henry VIII, More was once at the peak of power. But everything changed when Henry sought to divorce his wife, Catherine of Aragon, and marry Anne Boleyn. More refused to support the king's break from the Catholic Church, staying loyal to the Pope and his own conscience. This refusal led to More’s betrayal by those closest to him. He was imprisoned, tried for treason, and stripped of his title, all because he wouldn’t compromise his beliefs. Instead of accepting the king's demands, More became a symbol of courage and integrity. His stance, though not leading to death as many expected, resulted in a complete fall from grace. His refusal to betray his faith changed the course of English history, leaving a legacy of unwavering principle in the face of ruthless power
