"Who will rid me of this troublesome preist''? So said an exsparated HenryII, the first Plantagenet king of England. Fortunatly for ol' Henry but not for Thomas Beckett, a man at odds with his King, some rather eager Knight erands over heard this and killed Beckett, supposedly as he was getting ready to say Mass.

Thank you, J'Mac for adding a bit of history. I really didn't remember the details, but the more I thought about it, I remember the movie "Beckett" with Richard Burton and Peter O'Toole.
