This man stormed out of Northampton Castle and fled to France after he was convicted of contempt of royal power by a great council.
This man stormed out of Northampton Castle and fled to France after he was convicted of contempt of royal power by a great council. This man's power was limited by a set of laws that aimed to deal with the issue of "criminous clerks," the Constitutions of Clarendon. This man's killer dug his sword into this man's brain and said, "Let us away, knights; this fellow will arise no more." The killing of this man led to one ruler doing a public penance to prevent Pope Alexander III excommunicating all of England. For 10 points, name this "troublesome priest" who was a thorn in Henry II's side, and whose shrine is the destination of the pilgrims in The Canterbury Tales.
