Sir Thomas More was sentenced to death by King Henry the VIII. More was King Henry VIII's tutor when he was growing up, and served as one of his most trusted advisers in the earlier part of his regime. Unfortunately, due to his refusal of taking up the First Succession Act, which supported his former student's claim of being the head of the Church of England, he was put to death. After his death, he was canonized as a Catholic saint.
