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.
