Excerpt from Life and Times of Thomas Becket There is one aspect of the twelfth century - the darkest crimes and the most real superstition side by side coexisting in the same character. Turn from Martel to Oxford, and go back seventeen years. Men who had so little pity on themselves were as pitiless to others. We quote from Stowe. The story is authenticated by contemporary chroniclers. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Life of S. Thomas Becket of Canterbury Moscow is now this was a cause worth dying for. Most writers, on the contrary, and even some Catholics, represent him as contending only for clerical immunity from secular tribunals; which was only the occasion, and a very small, though not unimportant, part of the contest. The worst offender, however - who is most Offensive, precisely because, from his qualities Of head and heart, he ought to know better - is Dean Stanley. Any one reading his lecture on the murder of Becket in his Memorials of Canterbury might suppose that the saint died because Of a squabble between the sees of Canterbury and York, and because he excommunicated the Brocs for poaching on his manors and docking the tails of his horses and mules. The Dean's conception of S. Thomas of Canterbury is worthy of being placed side by side with the Becket of the Ingoldsby Legend of the Prior of Birchington. It might seem invidious to notice what, after all, is only a lecture ad populum, if it were not a type of a whole class of compositions which tend perhaps more than any other to falsify the truth of history. The fact is worth dwelling upon. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Reproduction of the original: Life of Thomas à Becket by Henry Hart Milman
Excerpt from The Life and Martyrdom: Of Saint Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, and Legate of the Holy See The life of St. Thomas of Canterbury requires no introduction. Panegyric and preliminary explanation are equally unnecessary, for he is not a man the circumstances of whose career are but little known. Every one will look for the most entire sympathy with him and his cause in the following pages and the writer cordially acknowledges that he entertains, and is proud of, this feeling. At the same time he hopes that no one will think that because the Saint, whose life he has ventured to write, is a hero in his eyes, he has recorded one word that he did not consider to be completely borne out by the ancient authorities. In so controverted a part of history, he has laid modern books aside, and has relied for his facts on contemporary writers alone; and his endeavour has been to enable the reader to weigh for himself the evidence on which his own judgment has been formed.

Excerpt from Thomas Becket: Martyr Patriot Lives of Archbishop Becket and discussions of them have been so many, that some apology may be necessary for another. It is an easy task. We have it on the authority of Mr. Freeman: There is scarcely any man of past times, for estimating whose life and character we have such ample means. We know all about everybody and everything. As to mere matters of fact, the points of controversy are exceedingly few. But he adds: The peculiarity of the history is, that, with the same facts before them, no two people seem to be content to draw the same inferences.

Excerpt from The Life and Letters of Thomas A Becket, Vol. 2 of 2: Now First Gathered From the Contemporary Historians This was the position of things, when it he came necessary for both parties to send delegates to Rome, where the court was now held, in pro secution Of the appeal of the bishops. A splendid embassy was accordingly sent from England, to represent the king, the bishops, and others who were concerned in the controversy. On the part of the archbishop were sent some of his clerks, and we may fully believe the historian, who says that they had no gold nor silver to take'with them as presents, and that they hardly carried more than was sufficient for their journey.
