When Thomas decided to dress up for the trial in his full Archbishop' s rig and carry a huge silver cross, Jesuslike, his greatest rival, the Bishop of London, tried to seize it from him, but Becket' s grip was like iron. " A fool he was, a fool he' ll always be," was the Bishop' s comment on this performance. The trial broke up with Becket storming out. " Perjurer, traitor." Yelled Henry' s barons. " Whoremongers, bastards." Replied the Archbishop. Convicted on the charges, Becket knew he was in dire peril and fled on the nearest horse. He must have thought he was running for his life. Becket and a small group of diehard followers landed on the Flemish coast. They were broke, demoralised, prostrate with exhaustion and flooded with the grim realisation of what they' d done. They' d made themselves outlaws for Christ. |
