In the movie, “A Man For All Seasons’, it was showing how the King of England wanted to have some type of treaty signed to allow him to marry once again. A person by the name of Sir Thomas More was a person of power and had some type of authority in the church. The king was asking for this treaty to be signed because of the position he was in. He had already married, but all of the boys that his wife had produced had all died, so he had not produced a male heir.

How he later became the bishop or something of Whales. How Sir Thomas’ daughter throughout the movie was wanting to get married to a eager man that Sir Thomas, to me really didn’t care for.
