Did king Henry VII behead Thomas More?

No, King Henry VII had nothing to do with Thomas More. It was Henry VII's son, Henry VIII that beheaded Sir Thomas More for high treason. More had gone against Henry VIII's Act of Supremacy that gave him more power than the Catholic Church. Since More was a devoted Catholic, he was torn in between serving the King and his religion, at first keeping silent and refusing to sign the Act. However for this silence he was sentenced to the tower, but a death sentence could not be passed as he had not opposed the Act, but merely kept silent. Eventually, More openly went against Henry VIII, and was executed.
