When Four Knights Murdered an Archbishop
The knights burst into Canterbury Cathedral at dusk, their swords drawn. Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, stood defiant in his vestments as they hacked at him with their blades, slicing off the top of his skull. One knight ground his boot into the dying man's head, scattering brains and blood across the cathedral floor. It was December 29, 1170, and this brutal act would haunt King Henry II for the rest of his life. The Plantagenets-England's longest-reigning dynasty-ruled for 245 years through battlefield glory, political genius, and shocking violence. Their story shaped the very concept of England itself, establishing principles of law and government that echo into our present day. This wasn't just medieval politics; it was the forge where modern Britain was hammered into being.
