Who saw thomas becket die?
Four of the five attackers witnessed his death and there were a few members of the cathedral staff present who later wrote accounts of the murder. Of the attackers, the knights Reginald fitzUrse, William de Tracy and Richard le Breton and the chaplain Hugh de Horsea actually struck the Archbishop with their swords, killing him. The fourth knight, Hugh de Morville, had been posted at a small doorway to prevent anyone coming to aid the Archbishop and he may not have seen the murder. With Thomas Becket were the secular clerk Edward Grim and another clerk to the Archbishop, William firzStephen. Edward Grim attempted to ward of a sword cut and had his arm nearly cut off.
