About the book

Frank Barlow's biography examines the life of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, whose conflict with King Henry II ended in his murder inside Canterbury Cathedral in 1170. The book traces Becket's rise from royal administrator and close companion of the king to determined defender of ecclesiastical privilege. Barlow places their dramatic confrontation within the political and religious world of twelfth-century England.
