People traveled to Thomas Becket's place of death, Canterbury Cathedral, primarily as a pilgrimage. After his murder in 1170, Becket was canonized as a saint, and his shrine became a site of veneration, attracting pilgrims seeking healing, spiritual solace, and a connection to the saint. The pilgrimage to Canterbury was popularized further by Geoffrey Chaucer's "The Canterbury Tales," which depicted the diverse motivations of those journeying to the shrine. Overall, the pilgrimage served both religious devotion and the desire for personal transformation.

Some violent words of Henry were taken literally by four leading knights of the court, who proceeded swiftly to Canterbury (December 29), forced themselves into the Archbishop's presence, and, on his refusal to absolve the bishops, followed him into the cathedral. There, at twilight, after further altercation, they cut him down with their swords. His last words were an acceptance of death in defense of the church of Christ.

The primary suspects in the death of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, were four knights loyal to King Henry II of England: Reginald fitz Urse, Hugh de Morville, William de Tracy, and Richard le Bret. They believed they were acting on the king's wishes after Henry's frustration with Becket's opposition to royal authority. The knights confronted Becket in Canterbury Cathedral on December 29, 1170, leading to his murder. This act ultimately sparked outrage and led to Becket's martyrdom and canonization.

King Henry didn't won't his guards to kill Thomas Becket but he said the line "Will no-one raid me of this troublesome priest!" in a jokey sort of way but his guards herd him and went to kill Becket.

Thomas Becket's last words are traditionally reported as a plea for forgiveness and a call to God. According to accounts, as he faced his assassins in Canterbury Cathedral, he is said to have exclaimed, "For the name of Jesus and the protection of the Church, I am ready to embrace death." His martyrdom became a significant moment in the conflict between church and state in medieval England.
