Sir Thomas Moore (1478-1535), Lord Chancellor of England and author of “Utopia”, began his career in the household of Morton, Archbishop of Canterbury, later entering the service of Henry VIII.  Like many others of the day, he incurred Henry’s  wrath by his fearless opposition to anything to which his conscience was not attuned, such as the relaxation of the heresy laws, the kings attitude towards the Pope, and finally, in his refusal to acknowledge the King's divorce from Katharine of Aragon.  He was tried for treason and beheaded, to the horror of civilized me through out Catholic Europe, who knew him as the equal of Erasmus and the other Oxford Reformers, establishes of the New Learning in England.
