| book description |

This book explores the turbulent life and violent death of Thomas Becket, one of the most controversial figures of the Middle Ages. From a London merchantâ€™s son to royal chancellor and archbishop of Canterbury, Becketâ€™s murder in Canterbury Cathedral on 29 December 1170 elevated him to Englandâ€™s most celebrated saint. Michael Staunton looks at Becketâ€™s complex and contested legacy, drawing from Becket's own words and those of his contemporaries. Based on extensive contemporary medieval sources, this account offers a fresh perspective on Thomas Becketâ€™s life and places him within the broader landscape of twelfth-century England and Europe â€“ a time of rapid change, conflict and achievement. Thomas Becket and His World is perfect for anyone wanting to learn more about this pivotal figure in medieval history.
