	Thomas Becket - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		St Thomas Becket (December 21, 1118 – December 29, 1170) was Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 to 1170.
		Thomas Becket was born in London sometime between 1115 and 1120, though most authorities agree that he was born December 21, 1118, at Cheapside, to Gilbert of Thierceville, Normandy, and Rosea or Matilda of Caen.
		Young Thomas was devoted to his master's interests with such a firm and yet diplomatic thoroughness that scarcely anyone, except perhaps John of Salisbury, doubted his allegiance to English royalty.

	St. Thomas Bio
		Thomas met them with dignified argument, but refused to budge from what he declared was justice and obedience to the pope.
		Canterbury became a place of pilgrimage second only to Rome and perhaps Compostella, and churches were dedicated to St Thomas in all countries, even in the remote Iceland.
		That Thomas gave his life for the freedom of the church is certain; more than four centuries later, another Henry, another St Thomas, and another archbishop of Canterbury drew the moral in their different ways.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: St. Thomas Becket
		Thomas was born of parents who, coming from Normandy, had settled in England some years previously.
		He took "Thomas of London", as Becket was then most commonly called, for his chancellor, and in that office Thomas at the age of thirty-six became, with the possible exception of the justiciar, the most powerful subject in Henry's wide dominions.
		Thomas seems all along to have suspected Henry of a design to strike at the independence of what the king regarded as a too powerful Church.

	St. Thomas Becket
		Thomas, now forty-four years old, rode to Canterbury and was first ordained priest by Walter, bishop of Rochester, and then on the octave of Pentecost was consecrated archbishop by the bishop of Winchester.
		Thomas was now full of remorse for having weakened, thus setting a bad example to the bishops, but at the same time he did not wish to widen the breach between himself and the King.
		Thomas was named by the Pope as his legate for all England except York, whereupon Thomas excommunicated several of his adversaries; yet at times he showed himself conciliatory towards the King.

	Saints of December 29
		As Thomas put it, he changed from being "a patron of play-actors and a follower of hounds, to being a shepherd of souls." Now that he was a priest he lived as one, putting aside all the costly robes he used as Chancellor; he wore the habit of a monk.
		Thomas forbade them under obedience to close the doors: "A church must not be turned into a castle," he said.
		Thomas is generally portrayed as an archbishop killed at the altar by three knights, his crucifer by him.

	Canterbury Stained Glass (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-01)
		A Celtic church was established in Canterbury during the Roman occupation but, following the departure of the Roman legions in the 5th century and the reconquest of the region by Jutes and Saxons, Christianity was displaced by the old pagan religions.
		Canterbury's importance as a major European pilgrimage destination however, really began after the martyrdom of Thomas Becket on December 29, 1170.
		A measure of the immense popularity of the Canterbury pilgrimage is evident from the fact that twenty-six wagons were required to haul away the confiscated gold, jewels and other treasures that had been donated to the shrine.

	Britannia Biographies: Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury
		Thomas Cranmer was born in Nottinghamshire in 1489, the son of Thomas Cranmer Senior and his wife, Agnes (Hatfield).
		The servility with which Cranmer lent himself to the accomplishment of Henry's lawless desires, the timidity which made him acquiesce in deeds of tyranny and violence, from which his conscience revolted, remain as a blot on his memory.
		In the hope of saving his life, he recanted his opinions but, when called open to disavow them openly, her expressed deep regret for the cowardice which had led to his recantation and went courageously to his death (1556).
