| Storyline : | The fatal encounter between Henry II and the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket. Upon becoming Archbishop of Canterbury, |
| Becket renounces his interest in worldly affairs. His decision to serve the church before the state antagonises King Henry, | |
| formerly his close ally and companion, and, in saving the King's mistress, Rosamund, from attack by conspirators, he wins | |
| the emnity of Queen Eleanor. Having appealed to the Pope against a decree of the King, Becket takes refuge abroad in an | |
| Augustinian monastery, but returns to England at he insistance of King Louis of France, who intervenes with Henry on his behalf. | |
| The clash of opposing wills quickly manifests itself again when Becket persuades Rosamund to enter a convent. Taking advantage of | |
| Henry's anger, the Queen urges four Knights, her confederates, to interpret the King's hasty words literally, and slay Becket, | |
| who is stabbed to death accordingly, at Canterbury. | |
