4. Thomas Becket was some form of church official; I don't remember the details, but he and whomever the king was at the time had a disagreement. Supporters of the king murdered him; though the king was NOT behind this and upset at what they had done.

The name is Thomas a Becket (with an accent grave over the a)

Sounds like an assignment you have that you don't want to work on yourself. Thomas Becket was an Archbishop of Canterbury, who was slain in his own cathedral because of his defiance to King Henry. He is a Catholic Martyr. You need to find out the rest of your questions yourself, through research.
