What is the name of a turbulent priest Thomas?

The "turbulent priest" Thomas refers to Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162 until his murder in 1170. This phrase is most famously associated with a quote from King Henry II of England, who is reported to have said, "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" This outburst led to Becket's assassination by four knights, who interpreted the king's words as a command. Thomas Becket's conflict with King Henry II was primarily over the rights and privileges of the Church.
