Course Details
Parallel Lives : Thomas à Beckett & Thomas Moore
In the whole of English history, two men stand out as martyrs for their faith and belief in an authority greater than that of their king. In the twelfth century, Thomas à Beckett directly challenged Henry II over Henry’s legal reforms and his authority against that of the Pope. In the sixteenth century, Sir Thomas Moore, ‘the king’s good servant but God’s first’, was to fall victim to Henry’s break with Rome and repudiation of papal supremacy. We will look at the careers of both men in these most medieval of struggles.
