Tudor History with Claire Ridgway

Did Thomas More Predict His Own Downfall


Listen Later

Thomas More knew the risks of serving King Henry VIII—but he chose to serve him anyway. Why? 
 
Join me as we uncover the fascinating story of More’s rise as Lord Chancellor, his sharp insight into Henry’s dangerous nature, and the principles that ultimately led to his tragic end. Was he a loyal servant or a man who couldn’t abandon his convictions?
 
Discover the truth behind one of Tudor England’s most brilliant minds and his chilling prophecy:
"If my head would win him a castle in France, it should not fail to go."
 
Watch now and let me know—was More’s loyalty admirable or naïve?
