  • April 5 (Easter Sunday) – Anabaptist Jan Matthys is killed by the Landsknechte, who laid siege to Münster on the day he predicted as the Second Coming of Christ. His follower John of Leiden takes control of the city.
  • April 13 – Sir Thomas More, having been brought before a royal commission to swear his allegiance to the 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".{{cite book |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=y5rDAyEoHyAC&pg=PA116 |title=The Cambridge Companion to Thomas More |editor=George M. Logan |publisher=Cambridge University Press |year=2011 |isbn=978-1-139-82848-2 |page=122}} Holding fast to the Roman Catholic doctrine of papal supremacy, More refuses to take the oath of supremacy toward King Henry VIII. More is confined in the Tower of London. He will be executed on July 6, 1535.
  • May 10 – Jacques Cartier explores Newfoundland, while searching for the Northwest Passage.{{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}}
  • June 9 – Jacques Cartier and his crew become the first Europeans to discover the Gulf of St Lawrence.
  • June 23 – 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. The surrenders of Copenhagen and, a few days later, of Malmö represent the high point of the Count's War for the forces of the League. These victories presumably lead the Danish nobility to recognize Christian III as King on July 4.{{cite book|last=Collins|first=W. E.|year=1903|chapter=The Scandinavian North|editor=Ward, A.
