Thomas More – The Man Who Defied Henry VIII?
Wednesday, 6 May, 2026
Thomas More lived by the mantra, 'I am the King's good servant, but God's first'. He would also die by it. His defiance at Henry VIII's break with Rome would be his salvation, and his destruction. In this episode of our series on Henry VIII's ministers, Tracy Borman is joined by historian Dr Joanne Paul to examine the truth behind Thomas More's legacy. Was he a saintly man of conscience in a court filled with grasping politicians, or a self-righteous heretic hunter? And what does his story tell us about Henry VIII? Watch this episode on YouTube to see Tracy and Joanne in the Great Hall of Hampton Court Palace. Read more about Sir Thomas More's life and legacy.
