In 1141, Thomas a` Becket started to work for Archbishop Theobald of
Canterbury. Becket ran many errands to Rome for the Archbishop and studied
church law. After ten years, he was appointed Archdeacon of Canterbury. King
Henry II appointed Becket to be his chancellor. Becket lived a rich lifestyle and
stood up for the king in all things.
King Henry appointed Becket to be the Archbishop of Canterbury after
Theobald’s death in 1162. The King expected Thomas Becket to do what the
King told him to do when he was the Archbishop, but Thomas Becket decided to
do what would be best for the church.
He gave up his rich lifestyle, and contributed large amounts of
money to the poor. He got rid of his expensive clothes and wore uncomfortable
clothing instead.
King Henry was angry at him for disobeying his orders. Henry felt that he has been
cheated: he placed Becket in two positions of high honor and power, and received
no thanks in return, only opposition.
One day, some knights who were in the king’s service arrived at the
cathedral and demanded to see Becket. He surrendered himself with a heroic
speech. The knights killed Becket. They went about their business quickly, for fear
the people in the cathedral would save Becket
Becket was made a Catholic saint in 1173. Becket’s body was kept in Canterbury
Cathedral and attracted pilgrims (travelers) from all over the country.
