Summary:

This volume, part of the 'Chronicles and Memorials of Great Britain and Ireland During the Middle Ages,' compiles historical materials related to the life and martyrdom of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury. Edited by James Craigie Robertson, it includes anonymous accounts, biographical narratives, and excerpts from medieval chronicles. The book focuses on Becket's ascension within the church, his conflicts with King Henry II over church authority, his exile, eventual return, and his assassination in 1170. It also explores his canonization by Pope Alexander III in 1173 and his enduring legacy as a symbol of religious conviction and resistance against secular interference. Intended for historians, scholars, and readers interested in medieval history and ecclesiastical studies, the text aims to preserve the historical accuracy of manuscripts while providing context on their origins and significance.
