St. Thomas More, the light-hearted but heroic Chancellor of
England, comes to life in this biography by Elizabeth M. Ince from
the acclaimed "Vision Books" series of saints for youth 9 - 16
years old. Raised in the London of the late 1400's, Thomas was a
bright student eager for knowledge. When serving as a page for
Cardinal Morton, the Archbishop of Canterbury noticed his bright
wit and sent him to Oxford. There young Thomas became a scholar of
great repute, and later one of the greatest lawyers that England
had ever seen. Going on to serve his King, Thomas More soon became
one of Henry VIII's most trusted advisors. But then the unthinkable
happened. King Henry VIII defied Rome and set himself up as the
head of the Church in England, commanding all of his subjects to
acknowledge him as such. Sir Thomas resigned as Chancellor rather
than betray his faith, but his defiance came at a price. King Henry
had him arrested and charged with treason. On July 6, 1535, Sir
Thomas More was beheaded for high treason and became a martyr for
the Church.
