Thomas More was not only one of King Henry VIII’s closest advisors in the Tudor court, but some would even argue his best friend. Henry wasn't known for being a very forgiving friend, though, and with good reason. Especially when his friends don't show their allegiance to his policies. Sir Thomas More, named a saint by the Catholic church, stood up for his beliefs and morals even when it meant losing his head. Listen to Elizabeth and Megan (who will be sure to brag about being a blood relative to this famous 'executionee') as they share another favorite Tudor execution at the hand of King Henry VIII.
