Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, was assassinated by Hugh de Morville and other knights in 1170. This act was a result of a longstanding conflict between Becket and King Henry II over the rights and privileges of the Church. Becket's murder took place in Canterbury Cathedral and led to his martyrdom and eventual canonization. His death significantly impacted the relationship between the monarchy and the Church in England.
