Opis
From Thomas Becket's early life as a merchant's son and his time as the Archbishop of Canterbury to his assassination in the Cathedral itself, this enlightening book brings to life a colossal figure of British history.
'Lively, effortlessly readable, superb. A beautifully layered portrait of one of the most complex characters in English history' The Times

This is the man, not the legend . . .
Thomas Becket lived at the centre of medieval England. Son of a draper's merchant, he was befriended and favoured by Henry II and quickly ascended the rungs of power and privilege. He led 700 knights into battle, brokered peace between warring states and advised King and Pope.
Yet he lost it all defying his closest friend and King, resulting in his bloody murder and the birth of a saint.
In award-winning biographer John Guy's masterful account, the life, death and times of Thomas Becket come vividly into focus.
