  • Thomas is DEAD?!!!!
  • I'M SORRY!
  •  Henry was horrified when he hard the news. He hadn't exactly ordered the knights to go to Canterbury but he knew he was going to get the blame. He was terrified that he might be excommunicated by the Pope, the world leader of the Christian church.
  • So he decided to say sorry – in a big way! Henry walked the streets of Canterbury with no shoes on and, when his feet were cut and bleeding, he approached the cathedral. He then prayed at Becket's tomb while monks whipped his bare back. He spent the night on the hard stone floor – on the very spot where Becket was killed. It worked - the Pope forgave Henry.
  • The knights were not as fortunate as Henry. They were sent on a pilgrimage - all the way to the Holy Land. None of them survived the long journey there. 
  • People started claiming miracles were taking place at Becket's tomb as soon as he died. Blind people claimed they could see and deaf people claimed they could hear after visiting his tomb. In 1173, Becket was made a saint by the Pope, and before long, the journey to pray at Becket's tomb was one of the most popular pilgrimages in Europe.
