************************************************************************************** Henry VII once warned his son the future King of England not to trust Thomas More; years later that same son made More his confidante and advisor. But the allegiance is dangerously one-sided. A family man lawyer and writer More's ambitions are humble whilst Henry's are endless.
As More's career at court rises so too does his religious fervour much to the concern of his eldest daughter Margaret More. Meg as she is fondly called is torn between her heretic husband and the secrets her father has confided in her and already fears that one day her father will make the ultimate sacrifice for his faith.
The Tudor saga continues in The Sixth Wife.
