(23) pictures of the murderous intrigue of religious politics (visiting the Tower of London)

The tomb of Saint Thomas More is next to that of Saint John Fisher. The inscription is:

THOMAS MORE. Knight, scholar, writer, statesman, Lord Chancellor of England 1529-1532. Beheaded on Tower Hill, buried in this Chapel 1535. Canonised by Pope Pius XI 1935.

The bit about “buried in this chapel” is rather generous. But he is there now.

Plenty of anecdotes, but… well… better just to read Book 1 of the Trilogy!

Welcome to new visitors! To read about why the tags for these posts are the way they are, and so to read more about the murderous intrigue of interreligious politics between Jews, Catholics and Muslims by way of what I hope is a trilogy of novels being blogged out here, click on the blog-header for the table of contents. Make sure to read all the opening pages of the Trilogy to see what this is all about. Then go to the full posts-page for day to day fisking.
