The Life and Martyrdom of St. Thomas Becket: Archbishop of Canterbury, and Legate of the Holy See is a historical biography written by John Morris in 1859. The book chronicles the life of St. Thomas Becket, a prominent figure in the 12th century who served as Archbishop of Canterbury and later became a martyr. Morris provides a detailed account of Becket’s rise to power, his close relationship with King Henry II, and his eventual conflict with the monarch over the rights of the Church. The book also delves into the events leading up to Becket’s assassination in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170, and the aftermath of his death, including his canonization and the construction of the famous Canterbury Cathedral. Morris draws from a variety of sources, including contemporary accounts and historical documents, to provide a comprehensive and engaging portrait of one of the most important figures in English history. The Life and Martyrdom of St. Thomas Becket is a must-read for anyone interested in medieval history, the Church, or the struggles between church and state.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
