Thomas More (Saint)

Saint Thomas More was an influential English lawyer, scholar, and statesman who served as Lord Chancellor under King Henry VIII. Renowned for his integrity and deep faith, he famously refused to endorse the king's separation from the Catholic Church and the annulment of his marriage, which led to More's execution in 1535. He was canonized as a saint for standing by his conscience and religious principles, emphasizing the importance of moral integrity and the rule of law. Today, he is remembered as a symbol of principled resistance and the pursuit of truth.
