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.
