Excommunication was only the beginning, they just made the worst career move in history ! The story so far...
On Christmas Day, 1170, four nights – Reginald FitzUrse, William de Traci, Richard le Bret and Hugh de Morville – left Henry II's household in Normandy and travelled to Canterbury. In the early evening of 29th December, they assassinated Thomas Becket in Canterbury Cathedral. A tidal wave of public outrage swept them north to Knaresborough Castle. They stayed there for a year. That is all we know about them. Their motives, the extent of Henry's complicity, and their fate after leaving Knaresborough, remain uncertain.
