I have researched this a little but am still not sure what the answer is...
Why was Sir Thomas More beheaded? With waht did he disagree?
Thanks:)
He was beheaded for Treason against the King, he had would not agree that the King has the authority to take himself (the King) as head of the Church. This did not set well with the King.
King Henry VIII set himself up as the head of the Church in England. Sir Thomas More disagreed, stating that the Pope in Rome was the head of all Christian churches. For that he was found guilty of treason and beheaded for going against the king.

Thanks bobpursley and Ms. Sue:)
You're very welcome, Michael. :-)
Sir Thomas More was beheaded because he refused to acknowledge King Henry VIII as the Supreme Head of the Church of England, effectively breaking from the authority of the Pope. He disagreed with the king's desire to annul his marriage to Catherine of Aragon and marry Anne Boleyn. More, being a devout Catholic, could not accept Henry VIII's authority over the church or his claim to be the head of the English church. As a result, he was charged with treason and eventually executed.
