"For Henry, Becket would be the hawk that did not return to its lure. having befriended, trained and appointed Thomas to a task he assumed he would perform. Henry would spend much of his reign chaising his errant companion, until he finally returned, only to fall out of the sky, dead, at the angry king's feet."

Hawking or falconry takes places along river-banks and waterways where ducks, cranes and herons gather, prey for the hawks and falcons. Ryver(e) in Chaucerian or Middle English meant to go hawking: the river-bank was the place for hawking. Indeed a hawk specially trained to hunt herons was called a heroner. Many of the kings of this period had the river banks of certain rivers fenced off, enclosed a private hawking grounds, with men [gamekeepers if you will] maintaining and patrolling them.
