Sir Thomas devoted himself to his duties with utmost zeal until Henry, desirous of but lacking a male heir to the throne, declared his marriage to Catherine of Aragon null and announced his intent to marry Ann Boleyn. Since the [[divorce]] was without Papal approval and directly opposed to the laws of the Church, More refused to support the king’s decision. He resigned his office and retired to Chelsea where, greatly concerned with the heresies of Luther’s revolt, he continued his writings in defense of the Catholic faith.  
Herra Tómas helgaði sig skyldum sínum af miklu kappi þar til Hinrik, sem þráði að eignast karlkyns erfingja að krúnunni, hugðist hafa hjónaband sitt með Katrínu af Aragoníu að engu og lýsti yfir fyrirætlun sinni um að giftast Önnu af Boleyn. Þar sem [[Special:MyLanguage/divorce|skilnaðurinn]] var án samþykkis páfa og beinlínis í andstöðu við lög kirkjunnar, neitaði More að styðja ákvörðun konungs. Hann sagði upp embætti sínu og hélt sig til hlés í bústað sínum í Chelsea. Þar sem hann hafði miklar áhyggjur af uppreisn Lúthers og villutrúnaðinum sem hann boðaði, hóf hann að nýju ritstörf til varnar kaþólskri trú.  


Without friends and without office, More and his family lived in abject poverty. Nevertheless, Henry had been insulted at the chancellor’s public disapproval of him. The king, therefore, sought to defame More and thus restore his royal image. When Sir Thomas clearly refused to give the oath of supremacy to Henry as head of the new Church of England, he was imprisoned in the dread Tower of London. Badgered by king’s lawyers, More staunchly refused to compromise the position of the Church but diplomatically avoided direct accusation of the king, thereby saving his life and remaining a testimony to Henry’s sinful injustice.
