After Thomas Becket was murdered in 1170, Pope Alexander III condemned the act and excommunicated those involved in the assassination. He later canonized Becket as a saint in 1173, elevating him to martyr status and strengthening the conflict between the church and the English monarchy. The pope also encouraged the establishment of Becket's shrine in Canterbury, which became a significant pilgrimage site.
