The murder was carried out by three knights and a Churchman called Hugh de Horsea (who was chaplain to Randolph de Broc). A fourth knight was standing guard in a doorway to prevent aid reaching the archbishop.
The knights who struck blows were William de Tracy, Richard le Breton and Reginald fitzUrse. Hugh de Morville was the knight standing guard.
All of the knights were later forced to go on crusade to the Holy Land as penance for their great sin, where they were all killed.
