Thomas Becket's killers, who were knights loyal to King Henry II of England, were exiled to a variety of locations. After the murder of Becket in 1170, they sought refuge, with some reportedly going to Scotland and others to different parts of the continent. Eventually, they found sanctuary in various regions, including the Holy Land, as they sought to escape the repercussions of their actions. The murder led to significant backlash against them and the monarchy, forcing them into exile.

Why was the king to blame for thomas beckets murder?

The king was to blame for Thomas Becket's murder because he told the knights to kill Thomas but the knights didn't had to do what he said but they did and hit Thomas in the head and killed him. Also Thomas told the monks to leave the door open so the monks did. Also the king shouldn't have wanted to kill him anyway and the Knights had to obey the kings orders
