Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the enigmatic man, Thomas Becket, who was a key figure in English history. Set against the backdrop of the medieval power struggle between the monarchy and the church, the book examines Becket's complex relationship with King Henry II, and his ultimate martyrdom, offering a fresh perspective on his motivations and the impact of his actions. The author argues that Becket's religious convictions and his determination to defend the rights of the church ultimately led to his downfall, and explores the complex interplay of ambition, piety, and politics that characterised his life. Through the author's insightful analysis, readers will gain a deeper understanding of Becket's role as a symbol of resistance against tyranny, and the enduring legacy of his martyrdom in shaping English history and the relationship between church and state.
