Just a short question regarding A man for all seasons

[samiira]

In our essays .. do u recommend using dates ... like can we say More was born on 7 February 1478 .. or that More was beheaded in 6 July 1535..??

It depends. Sometimes information like that just seems tacky and quite irrelevant. Though at other times it could serve to bolster a point/add authority/flow better/whatever.

Really, if you feel it should be there, then include it.

Only to the extent of demonstrating Henry 8-ball's savagery in dispelling with and ridding himself of expedient subjects once they've past their expiration period of usefulness. This would be conditional on the given prompt.

If a specific prompt requires that the writer analyze the nature and qualitative characters of King Henry VIII, ie. his personality, then that would enable the use of examples such as his penchant for bloodshed as the preferred method for discarding driftwood.

EG.
Henry used Wosley as a medium between Feudal Tudor society and the Vatican. After the Pope's granting of ascension to alter his presiding matrimonial commitments to Catherine, Henry disposes of Wosley without delay.
