The Medieval Murder of Thomas Becket

Anthony is joined by the iconic Eleanor Janega from our sister podcast 'Gone Medieval' to tell the story of the most famous murder of the medieval world - Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Cantebury.

How did a bromance between Thomas and his king turn into a deadly divide between church and crown?
