* [[April 13]] &ndash; Sir [[Thomas More]], having been brought before a royal commission to swear his allegiance to the [[First Succession Act|Act of Succession]], testifies that he accepts Parliament's right to declare [[Anne Boleyn]] the legitimate Queen of England, but denies that the marriage is spiritually valid of the king's second marriage".<ref>{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=y5rDAyEoHyAC&pg=PA116 |title=The Cambridge Companion to Thomas More |editor=George M.

More is confined in the [[Tower of London]]. He will be executed on July 6, 1535.
* [[May 10]] &ndash; [[Jacques Cartier]] explores [[Newfoundland (island)|Newfoundland]], while searching for the [[Northwest Passage]].<ref name=Cartier>{{cite book|last= Cartier |first=Jacques|editor=Ramsay Cook|year=1993|title=The Voyages of Jacques Cartier|location=Toronto|publisher=University of Toronto Press|url=https://archive.org/details/voyagesofjacques0000cart|url-access= registration |isbn=0-8020-5015-8}}</ref>

* [[June 9]] &ndash; Jacques Cartier and his crew become the first Europeans to discover the [[Gulf of St Lawrence]].<ref name=Cartier/>
* [[June 23]] &ndash; [[Copenhagen]] opens its gates to Count [[Christopher of Oldenburg]], leading the army of [[Lübeck]] (and the [[Hanseatic League]]), nominally in the interests of the deposed King [[Christian II of Denmark]].

These victories presumably lead the Danish nobility to recognize [[Christian III of Denmark|Christian III]] as King on [[July 4]].<ref>{{cite book|last=Collins|first=W.
