Description
The Life and Illustrious Martyrdom of Sir Thomas More is a biographical account of the life of Sir Thomas More, written by the English historian and theologian, Thomas Stapleton. The book provides a comprehensive overview of More's life, from his early years as a lawyer and scholar to his rise to political power as Lord Chancellor of England under King Henry VIII.Stapleton's account of More's life is particularly focused on his religious beliefs and his staunch opposition to the Protestant Reformation. The book details More's efforts to defend the Catholic Church and his refusal to support Henry VIII's break with Rome, which ultimately led to his arrest, trial, and execution for treason.In addition to providing a detailed account of More's life, Stapleton also offers a critical analysis of the political and religious landscape of 16th century England. He explores the tensions between Catholics and Protestants, the role of the monarchy in religious affairs, and the impact of the Reformation on English society.Overall, The Life and Illustrious Martyrdom of Sir Thomas More is a valuable historical document that sheds light on the life and legacy of one of England's most famous martyrs. It is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of the English Reformation, the Catholic Church, or the life of Sir Thomas More.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
