Sir Thomas More and His Descendants
Author: Rowland LockeyThe Family and Descendants of St. Thomas More
Author: Martin WoodPublisher:
ISBN:
Category : Biography & Autobiography
Languages : en
Pages : 308
Book Description
"This book, weaving together the history and genealogy of the More family and of the other families to which they allied themselves by marriage, provides an illuminating sequel to the various lives that have been written of St Thomas More. It tells the story of what happened to his family in the wake of his heroic witness against the tyranny of Henry VIII and how his descendents, inspired by his faith, were affected by their refusal to conform to the Church of England as, under successive monarchs, England was forcibly transformed from a Catholic into a Protestant country." "This is a story of a line of laymen and women, and of priests and nuns, all of whom had a deep faith and a firm resolve that makes them worthy of being listed among the 'Confessors of the Faith' - minor Confessors, maybe, but Confessors nonetheless."--BOOK JACKET.
