This fascinating account of one of England's best know saints reaches beyond the rise to power of a privileged and intelligent man, to reveal a story of holiness, suffering and courage.

'Our crime' said Becket, 'is the assertion of ecclesiastical liberty; for to profess it is to be guilty of high treason.'
