Sir Thomas More was an Honourable man that lived strictly by his morals. Although there were certain technichalities that concerned Anne Boleyns marriage to Henry the 8th he believed that it was "unholy" and therefore could never support it. He took his morals with him to his death, and would not compromise for anything. This i find a quality of utter importance and wish dearly there were more people of his beliefs alive today.
