About St. Thomas Becket
1118 – 1170 · Feast December 29 · Bishop / Martyr
English archbishop and martyr (1118-1170), London-born son of a Norman merchant, chancellor of Henry II and his close friend before being elevated by him to Canterbury (1162) in expectation of pliability. Becket's championship of ecclesiastical jurisdiction provoked years of conflict and exile; murdered in his cathedral by four knights of Henry's household after an apparently rhetorical royal outburst. Canonized 1173 by Alexander III—two years after his death.
St. Thomas Becket is the patron saint of Clergy, Conflict Between Church and State and Archbishops.
