Thomas Becket (1118–1170) was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 to 1170 who defended the Church against demands by King Henry II. This forshadowed a future conflict between English King Henry VIII and Thomas More.

Knights of King Henry II interpreted his intense complaints about Becket as a call to murder him. Statements by the King included, "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?", "Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?", "Who will revenge me of the injuries I have sustained from one turbulent priest?", and "What a band of loathsome vipers I have nursed in my bosom who will let their lord be insulted by this low-born cleric!"

The King's knights murdered Becket in Canterbury Cathedral, and within three years he was canonized as a saint by the Church in Rome.

The movie ''Becket'', staring Peter O'Toole and Richard Burton, is much acclaimed and is replaying on big screens in February and March 2007 throughout the country.
