🌸 3 for 10 🌸 A Man for All Seasons by Robert Bolt

A Man for All Seasons by Robert Bolt Good preowned condition. Please see photos Sir Thomas More — the brilliant nobleman, lawyer, humanist, and author of such works as Utopia — was a long-time friend and favorite of Henry VIII. More ascended to the position of Lord Chancellor in 1529. Yet he was also a staunch Catholic. When Henry broke with the Church in 1531, after the Pope had refused to grant Henry a divorce from Catherine of Aragon, More resigned the Chancellorship. In 1534, Parliament passed a bill requiring all subjects to take an oath acknowledging the supremacy of England’s king over all foreign sovereigns — including the Pope. More refused, was imprisoned, and finally was executed in 1535. Nonetheless, his legacy lives on as a man who stood firm — no matter the season.
