Medieval depiction of the murder of Thomas Beckett, Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 until his murder in 1170. He is venerated as a saint and martyr by both the Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion. He engaged in conflict with Henry II, King of England, over the rights and privileges of the Church and was murdered by followers of the king. Four knights of the king came to the cathedral at Canterbury wielding drawn swords, saying "Where is Thomas Becket, traitor to the King and country?!" Upon seeing them, Becket said, "I am no traitor and I am ready to die." Then the knights killed him with several sword blows to the head.
