Who saw thomas becket die?
Four of the five attackers witnessed his death and there were a few members of the cathedral staff present who later wrote accounts of the murder. Of the attackers, the knights Reginald fitzUrse, William de Tracy and Richard le Breton and the chaplain Hugh de Horsea actually struck the Archbishop with their swords, killing him. The fourth knight, Hugh de Morville, had been posted at a small doorway to prevent anyone coming to aid the Archbishop and he may not have seen the murder. With Thomas Becket were the secular clerk Edward Grim and another clerk to the Archbishop, William firzStephen. Edward Grim attempted to ward of a sword cut and had his arm nearly cut off. It is possible that few monks had walked into the chapel with Thomas Becket, but it is not clear if they remained to witness the murder or if they went to join the other monks singing Vespers in the choir. Edward Grim's account of the murder was written soon afterwards and is considered the most reliable version by many historians.
Why archbishop Thomas Beckett murdered?
Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, was murdered on the 29th December, 1170. Henry II had supposedly lost his temper and yelled something along the lines of "who will rid me of this troublesome priest" (the exact words were lost in history). Four knights overheard this and 'misunderstood', so, they then went to Canterbury Cathedral and killed him. It was on the 3rd blow from the sword that he fell, and on the 4th they lopped of his head and his 'brains spilled out' (nasty stuff, isn't it?) according to Edward Grim, best friend and clerk. Grim also got hurt in the attack, when one of the knights hit Becket the second time, it missed and hit Grim in the shoulder. As far as I know (I've done a bit of research) not a lot is known about the funeral. Hope this helps!
