Thomas A Becket


Thomas A Becket was the Arch Bishop of the Canterbury Church between the years 1162 and 1170. Becket argued with the kings about the rights and priveledges of the church until the king had him assassinated. Once this man was killed his status in the religious world was upgraded to Sainthood by Pope Alexander. Beckets body was feared to be stolen so it was heavily fortified with marble and concrete.
