Publisher's Synopsis
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.
