This Day in Medieval History
On this day in 1170. Archbishop and now Saint Thomas a Becket was murdered by henchmen of Henry II in Canterbury Cathedral. I've read T.S. Eliot on the subject. I've seen the movie. I've been to the scene of the crime. I couldn't care less; for some reason the struggle between church and state in late 12th Century England is on the other side of the World of my concerns.
