Quote #7
VOICEOVER: Thomas More's head was stuck on Traitor's Gate for a month. Then his daughter, Margaret, removed it and kept it till her death. Cromwell was beheaded for high treason five years after More. The Archbishop was burned at the stake. The Duke of Norfolk should have been executed for high treason... but the King died of syphilis the night before. Richard Rich became Chancellor of England... and died in his bed.
The same corrupt system that killed More ends up killing most of the men who orchestrated his killing. Ironically, the only one who dies in his bed, aside from Norfolk, is Rich—probably the worst and most dastardly of the bunch.
