More was charged with Misprision of Treason after refusing to state an oath after the Act of Succession proclaiming King Henry VII and Anne Boelyn as legitimate heirs to the throne. It contained a clause repudiating any foreign authority, prince or potentate.

He was lucky to get the sentenced commuted to beheading. Originally he was to be drawn and quartered.

Video of More's death from The Tutors.

If accurate he met his end bravely.
