Thomas More was killed because he opposed the king on the matter of royal divorce, and refused to swear the Oath of Supremacy which declared the king the head of the Church in England. He was martyred for his refusal to bend his religious beliefs to the king‘s political needs.
King Henry II was the untimate person responsible for the death of Thomas. He would have been the person to order, or approve, his execution.
Actually, King Henry II did not order the execution or assassination of Thomas a' Beckett. Henry was known to have a horrible temper, and in haste shouted aloud in the presence of his knights "Who will rid me of this troublesome Priest". Four of King Henry II's Knights took his words to mean he wanted Thomas killed; he actually did not literally want anyone to kill Thomas. ---- he didnt agree about the pope
Henry II got him killed.
No, the Pope resided in Rome and contact between the two was especially limited after Henry VIII was excommunicated in 1538. Henry VIII didn't have the power over the Pope to order his execution in any case - this lay with Charles V.
In this particular case the word 'execution' refers to a Sheriff "CARRYING OUT" the order of the court. (e.g.: He was under court order to execute the eviction order.)
Anne Boleyn had a mix of friends and enemies at the Tudor court. Her closest allies included her family members, such as her father, Thomas Boleyn, and her uncle, Thomas Howard, as well as figures like Thomas Cromwell and Archbishop Thomas Cranmer, who supported her marriage to King Henry VIII. However, she also had numerous enemies, most notably Cardinal Thomas Wolsey, who opposed her rise, and Queen Catherine of Aragon and her supporters, who viewed Anne as a rival and a threat to the established order. Ultimately, her enemies played a significant role in her downfall, contributing to her execution in 1536.
The execution phase consists of Order and Delivery.
Louis Riel was blamed for the execution of Thomas Scott by the Canadian government and many in the English-speaking community at the time, particularly those opposed to Riel's leadership in the Red River Rebellion. Scott, a Protestant and a vocal opponent of Riel's Métis government, was executed in 1870, which sparked outrage and fueled tensions between English and French Canadians. Riel's role as the leader of the Métis and his decision to order Scott's execution made him a controversial figure and a scapegoat for those who opposed the rebellion.

Henry II did not explicitly order the death of Thomas Becket, but his frustrations with Becket's opposition to royal authority led to a notorious incident. In 1170, after hearing Becket's criticisms, Henry reportedly exclaimed, "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" This statement was interpreted by some of his knights as a call to action, resulting in Becket's murder in Canterbury Cathedral. The event strained the relationship between the crown and the church, leading to significant political repercussions.
Order of St. Thomas was created in 2004.
