St Thomas More
St Thomas More was a 16th-century English lawyer, philosopher, and statesman, best known for his book 'Utopia,' which describes an ideal society based on communal living and the welfare of all its citizens. More served as Lord Chancellor under King Henry VIII but ultimately faced execution for refusing to accept the king's separation from the Catholic Church. His steadfast commitment to his principles and moral beliefs has made him a martyr and a significant figure in both religious and political history.
