Thomas Becket was not called Thomas à Becket during his own lifetime. He was called Thomas à Becket, by people who wrote about him much later, possibly in imitation of the name Thomas à Kempis, who was another medieval monk. Also Thomas Becket was commonly known as "Thomas à Becket", although this form seems not to have been contemporaneous, but a post-Reformation adornment, possibly in imitation ofThomas à Kempis.

What does the a stand for in Thomas a Becket?
Thomas Becket was never called "Thomas a Becket" during his life, nor for many hundreds of years after his death. It is a later mistake and should be treated as such.He was born in England in 1118 of noble Norman parents; his father was Gilbert Becket, who was possibly sheriff of London. Thomas was most often called "Thomas of London" during the early part of his life.In Anglo-Norman French, the language he would have used among his own family, the word a can mean at, in, located in, on, against, around, to, as far as, towards. . . and many more prepositional meanings. If he had been Thomas a Becket, then the element Becket would have to be a place-name, in order for the a to make any sense.The problem is that there is not (and has never been) a place in England called Becket, so Thomas a Becket is not a sensible or feasible name for anyone to have.He was plain Thomas Becket and that is how he should be known everywhere today.

Who was Thomas à Becket?
Thomas à Becket (1118?-70) was archbishop of Canterbury, and is considered a saint by both the Roman Catholic church and the Church of England.He was the closest friend of Henry II who chose him to be Archbishop of Canterbury, apparently expecting him to put the interests of the king above those of the church. When this turned out not to happen, Henry and Becket grew increasingly frustrated with each other, and Becket came to the point of excommunicating the king. When Henry, who was sick in bed at the time, heard of this, he cried out in loud complaint, and his words (accounts differ on what they were) motivated four knights to ride to Canterbury to confront Becket. When Becket refused to go with them to see Henry, they assassinated him, cutting off the top of his skull, in the cathedral, while a service was going on.According to tradition, the monks at Canterbury did not like Becket because they had been suspicious of his relationship with the king. When they buried him, however, they found that he had been stitched into a hair shirt which he could not remove, and which was filled with vermin. They regarded this as an act of profound penance, and an indication of a very holy man. In short order, there were reports of miracles, and it was soon believed that Becket was a saint, as the Church later confirmed.The place where Becket was buried, at Canterbury Cathedral, soon became a destination for pilgrims who wished to venerate him, in fact the most important such site in Britain. And this was the destination of the pilgrims who traveled together and told their stories in Geoffrey Chaucer's Canterbury Tales.So basicly he was a friend/sevent of henry the 2nd so he made thomas becket a archbishop. he ternd on henry but henry killed saint thomas becket archbishop of centabery. (thet was his full name)Thomas Becket was a servant for King Henry 2nd and become friends with Henry so Henry made him Chancellor then made him archbishop to help him rule the church but Becket turned on him, Henry killed him but made him a saint.Thomas Becket was 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.Hope that helps!
What is the name of a turbulent priest Thomas?
The "turbulent priest" Thomas refers to Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 until his murder in 1170. This phrase is most famously associated with a quote from King Henry II of England, who is reported to have said, "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" This outburst led to Becket's assassination by four knights, who interpreted the king's words as a command. Thomas Becket's conflict with King Henry II was primarily over the rights and privileges of the Church.
