After Thomas Becket's murder in 1170, the monks of Canterbury Cathedral were deeply shocked and mourned his death. They quickly moved to recover his remains, which they placed in a shrine that became a site of pilgrimage. The monks also sought to document the events surrounding his assassination and his subsequent canonization, emphasizing his status as a martyr. In the aftermath, they worked to bolster the cathedral's reputation and the significance of Becket's legacy within the church.
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
