    29 December 1170 - ARCHBISHOP THOMAS BECKET IS MURDERED AFTER KING'S
    COMMENT: When four knights hear King Henry II utter something like,
    "Who will rid me of this troublesome priest?," they take it as a
    request to kill Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury. The
    knights confront and kill Becket at Canterbury Cathedral, shocking
    Christians, who canonize Becket just three years later.
