...
Knights: Traitor! Traitor! Traitor!

Thomas: You, Reginald, three times traitor you:

Traitor to me my temporal vassal,
Traitor to me your spiritual lord,
Traitor to God in desecrating His church.

First Knight: No faith do I owe to a renegade,
And what I owe shall now be paid.

Thomas: Now to Almighty God, to the Blessed Mary ever Virgin,
to the blessed John the Baptist, the holy apostles Peter and Paul,
to the blessed martyr Denys, and to all the Saints, I commend
mycause and that of the Church.

The knights kill him

...



Archbishop Becket said 

"Lord forbid that we should turn the Church of God into a castle".
and
"By obedience to holy authority I order that the doors shall be opened without delay, for we ought not to make a castle out of the house of God."

Chapters or  the  Sixth  Volume:
1.  The  knights  collect  in  an  armed  cohort  and  pour  into  the  palace;  the  Champion  of  Christ  enters  the  church;  the  words  of  the  executioners.
2.  The  meeting  of  the  Champion  of  Christ  with  the  executioners;  the  point  he  drives  home  in  speaking  to  them.
3.  The  disciple,  who  wrote  these  things,  gives  his  reason  for  his  moroseness  in  describing  the  'contest  of  so  mighty  a  Champion.
4.  The  martyrdom  and  how  it  was  carried  out;  a  mention  of  a  certain  cleric  who  thrust  his  arm  between  the  on-coming  sword  and  the  head  of  the  Champion.
5.· The  Champion's  powerful  invective under  threat  of  anathema  lest  the  executioners  harm  any  of  his  people;  the  great  and  glorious  announcement  of  his  martyrdom.
6.  The  disciple  again  offers  excuses  for  his  prolixity  in  des- cribing  the  martyrdom.
7.  The  disciple's  reason  for  willingly  approaching  the  descrip- tion  of  the  final  end  of  the  martyrdom,  even  though  against  his  will.
8.  The  final  moments  of  Becket;  the  number  or  soldiers  who  took  part  in  the  execution.
9.  Becket's  wonderful  virtue  of  patience  and  the  unprecedented  barbarism  of  the  crime.
10. The  spoils  and  garments  of  the  priest  divided  among  the  soldiers;  the  hero's  hair-shirts  found  and  cast  aside;  some  strike  their  breasts  silently  repeating  to  one  another,  Indeed,  this  was  a  just  man.  
11. Within  fifteen  days  from  his  death,  the  martyrdom  is  known  throughout  the  Holy  Land  of  Jerusalem;  how  the  news  is  made  known.
12. A brief  treatment  on  the  harmony  between  the  death  of  Our  Lord  and  that  of  the  anointed  of  the  Lord, the  assurance  that  this  harmony  will  be  treated  more  fully  and  with  more  attention  at  the  end  of  this  historical  treatise.
13.  The  author  takes  up  happenings  after  the  martyrdom.
14.  The  appearance  and  preservation  of  the  dead  body  after  the  martyrdom.
15.  What  took  place  on  the  day  following  the  martyrdom  while  the  body  was  still  not  entombed;  how  the  monks  in  order  to  wash  his  body,  as  was  the  custom,  took  off  his  garments  and  found  his  whole  body  covered  with  hair-shirts;  facts  about  the  tomb,  the  manner  and  place  of  burial,  and  the  year  of  his  age  reckoned  from  the  Incarnation  of  Our  Lord.

William Urry (1967). Canterbury under the Angevin kings. Volume 1. Athlone P. p. 214.

Dr William Urry's detailed work on the topography of Canterbury and its Cathedral has thrown light on the immediate background to Becket's murder. The contemporary narrators of the murder generally agree that, having armed themselves, the knights returned to the the hall of the archbishop's palace to find that the door was barred against them. Robert de Broc, who had had charge of the palace during Becket's exile, called to the party to follow him, for he would find another way in. They charged southwards past the kitchens at the west end of the hall into a garden or orchard through some bushes where, on the south garden side, an entry was effected into the hall. Dr Urry has identified this garden in a document known as Rental B.

Some landmarks along the route

Becket was the patron saint of the  hospital in High Street, Southwark, founded in 1213 by Richard, Prior of Bermondsey, as an almonry.

St. Thomas a Watering, close to the second milestone along the Old Kent Road was a place where the pilgrims could water their horses, by a bridge over a river dedicated to St. Thomas a Becket. The river itself was the border between Kent and Surrey.
