Thomas More

Sir Thomas More (1478–1535) was an English Renaissance humanist, lawyer, statesman, and author best known for his 1516 book *Utopia*, which coined the term for an ideal society. He served as Lord Chancellor under King Henry VIII from 1529 to 1532 but was executed for treason after refusing to acknowledge the king as supreme head of the Church of England, prioritizing his faith. Canonized as a saint in 1935, he is remembered for his famous last words: 'I die the King's good servant, but God's first.'
