\"BECKET\'S MARTYRDOM\"

Thomas Becket (about 1118-1170), chancellor of England and Archbishop of Canterbury, . Becket had been a trusted friend of Henry II, King of England, but they became entangled in a quarrel over the rights of the Church. That dispute ended bitterly in 1170 when a group of Henry\'s knights, incited by their king\'s anger at the archbishop, killed Becket at the altar of Canterbury Cathedral. Becket was officially proclaimed a saint within three years, and was heralded as a hero who had defied a tyrant for the Church.
