The story of Thomas Becket is the story of an enigma, as well as of one of the most tumultuous periods in English history. Drawing on a vast array of contemporary records, personal letters and first-hand accounts, John Guy has reconstructed a psychologically compelling and utterly convincing account of this most remarkable man, the dramatic times in which he lived and the pivotal role he played in his nation’s history.
