Thomas Becket
註釋Thomas Becket, Chancellor of England, Archbishop of Canterbury, martyr and saint: he remains an heroic figure eight hundred years after his death. The author draws meticulously from the original sources in tracing the story of Becket's humble beginnings in London, his sensational rise to power as the right-hand man of a largely absentee king, the jealousy and suspicion that this power attracted, the long, brave exile, the half-triumphant return and terrible violence of the end.
