Hi Jasmine,

Great video, you did very well.

I didn´t know very much about Thomas Moore,

only Him being a person standing firm for his own beliefs.

Just by chance i looked for Him in Youtube 2 days ago, and today (by chance) visited a friend who played in an

Orchestra a Mass in the Thomas Moore Church in Munich to celebrate his Deathday.

That sure was an interesting "coincidence".

Tyndale went into hiding, possibly for a time in Hamburg, and carried on working. He revised his New Testament and began translating the Old Testament and writing various treatises. In 1530 he wrote The Practyse of Prelates, which seemed to move him briefly to the Catholic side through its opposition to Henry VIII's divorce. This resulted in the king's wrath being directed at him: he asked the emperor Charles V to have Tyndale seized and returned to England.

Although by this time, England had separated from the Catholic Church and Tyndale had some supporters in the government, the Church of England continued to fight against Lutheranism. Tyndale's friends appealed to the English government to intervene, but to no avail. More also fought against the KIng of England who desired to be praised as diety and was put to death!

Angry opposition to the facts of Thomas More's history is no comment, so I removed the fictional comments that stated More was evil and a torturer. It doesn't surprise me that Liberals will try anything to justify immorality. A urine test would usually silence the crazies!

Excellent work --try watching Starkeys Henry III if you haven't already --it really sets it all in context.

It also might be worth deleting a few of the less salubrious comments below

You are clearly a person of low values posting expletives on a schoolgirl's project page.

He was my 9th great grampa. I was stunned to learn he was beheaded by Henry VIII!!! That was a genealogical shocker. TY for doing this project for him.
