Protestant Reformation What was the meaning of the quote from Sir Thomas Moore "If my head would win him a castle in France, it should not fail to go". Asked by kimthomas21 on 03 Mar 18:35 Last updated by Jill W on 21 Mar 16:37
In context, this speaks to More's knowledge that Henry VIII's wishes would be granted first, regardless of the expense. The quote is also believed to allude to the fact that More was well aware of Henry's willingness to eliminate dissenters.
