Question

Why did King Henry VIII have Thomas More beheaded?

Answer 1

Thomas More was executed because he refused to take the oath required by the Act of Supremacy of 1534.

King Henry had Sir Thomas More executed because Sir Thomas More believed in the Catholic Faith and would not convert to the Anglican Faith. Because he died for his faith Sir Thomas More is now a Martyr and Saint in the Catholic Church.

The Act of Supremacy of 1534 declared that the king was " taken, accepted, and reputed the only supreme head of the church of England." And Thomas More , opposed the king's actions, and therefore was beheaded.
