Sir Thomas More's trial took place in 1535 after he refused to acknowledge King Henry VIII as the Supreme Head of the Church of England and rejected the annulment of the king's marriage to Catherine of Aragon. Charged with treason, More was tried in a politically motivated court where the evidence against him was largely based on his silence and refusal to support the king's break from the Catholic Church. He was found guilty and subsequently executed, becoming a martyr for his steadfast adherence to his Catholic faith and principles. More's trial highlighted the intense political and religious conflicts of the period.
It was published in 1516.

After Sir Thomas More's execution in 1535, his family faced significant hardships. His wife, Alice, and their daughters struggled both emotionally and financially, as More had been a prominent figure. His son-in-law, William Roper, became a staunch defender of More's legacy, while his daughters remained devoted to their father's memory. The family was largely ostracized due to More's martyrdom, but they continued to honor his principles and teachings.
