Saint Thomas
Becket, Saint Thomas à
Becket, Saint Thomas à (1118–70) English Church leader. He was appointed chancellor of England (1155), and became a friend of
Henry II. In 1162 Henry made him archbishop of Canterbury, hoping for his support in asserting royal control, but Becket devoted his loyalty to the Church. His defence of clerical privileges against the monarchy led to fierce conflict. Becket spent six years in exile. Reconciliation was short-lived, as Becket turned on those (including the king) who had violated his rights during exile. Four of Henry's knights, falsely assuming they would gain the king's gratitude, killed Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. Henry did penance and Becket was acclaimed a martyr. He was canonized in 1173.
