Thomas Becket. Lord High Chancellor, Archbishop Of Canterbury and close friend of Henry II. What could possibly go wrong??
Well, enough to get him chopped up by four of Henry's knights, that's what!
The question Charlie Higson wants to know the answer to though is 'how'? What precipitated his spectacular fall from grace? Why was he killed? And who stuck the 'A' in the middle of his name?
Luckily, Nicholas Vincent from the University Of East Anglia is on hand to provide answers.
