The archbishop was killed by four knights, who were followers of King Henry II of England. They believed they were acting on the king's wishes after he expressed frustration with the archbishop, Thomas Becket, over issues of church authority and loyalty. The murder took place in December 1170 at Canterbury Cathedral, leading to widespread outrage and the eventual canonization of Becket.
