Thomas Becket: Murder and the Making of a Saint

(May - Aug 2021)

 

On 29 December 1170, Becket was assassinated in Canterbury Cathedral by four knights with close ties to King Henry II, an act that left Medieval Europe reeling. Becket was one of the most powerful figures of his time, serving as royal chancellor and later as Archbishop of Canterbury. Initially a close friend of Henry, the two men became engaged in a bitter dispute that culminated in his violent and public death – an event that sent shockwaves across Europe and caused an immense political fallout.

Marking the 850th anniversary of his brutal murder, this special exhibition presents Becket's tumultuous journey from a merchant's son to an archbishop, and from a revered saint in death to a 'traitor' in the eyes of Henry VIII more than 350 years later.

 

Becket was a second-generation French immigrant, born around 1120 in Cheapside, in the City of London, to Gilbert and Matilda, who had left Normandy following the Norman Conquest. His father was a well-connected merchant but the family were neither excessively wealthy nor powerful. Becket was sent to school at Merton Priory and, after a few years studying in Paris, he eventually gained employment through one of his father’s friends as a clerk for Theobald, the then Archbishop of Canterbury. Becket was described by his contemporaries as intelligent, charming and authoritative and, in 1155, he got his biggest break. Recognising his talents, Theobald suggested that Henry II appoint Becket as Chancellor of England. He and the king quickly became close friends, hunting, gaming and travelling around England together. Becket embraced life in the royal court: he is said by his contemporary biographers to have enjoyed vast wealth, throwing lavish parties, decorating his residences with beautiful furnishings and making numerous journeys to France on his own ships.

When the position of Archbishop of Canterbury became vacant, Becket was put forward. Given his lifestyle and reputation he was an unlikely candidate but the king had other ideas. Henry was keen to appoint his close friend to the role but, crucially, he wanted him to continue as Chancellor. With Becket in both positions, Henry saw an opportunity to exercise greater authority over the Church as well as the state. Becket was appointed Archbishop on 23 May 1162 and consecrated (officially blessed) on 3 June. However, at some point during the rest of that year, and against the king’s wishes, Becket resigned as Chancellor. His actions drove a wedge between him and the king which would never be repaired. From this point on, Becket’s relationship with Henry began to deteriorate. A series of disputes ensued regarding the division of power between the Crown and the Church. By 1164, tensions were at an all-time high and, in October, Becket was summoned to appear before the King’s council and ordered to forfeit all his personal property. He refused to accept the terms of his punishment and, fearing further repercussions from the king, he fled to France.

Becket remained in exile in France for six years. During this time Henry flexed his power in England. His most blatant snub of his old friend’s authority was his decision to have his son, Henry the Young King, crowned in June 1170 by Becket’s long-standing enemy, the Archbishop of York. Becket appealed to the Pope and, under significant pressure, Henry agreed to reopen negotiations. Following this, the Archbishop and the king spoke privately for the first time since 1164, and Henry promised to restore Becket’s rights as Archbishop of Canterbury. Becket was reassured that it would be safe to return to England. However, his final act was to punish those involved in the unauthorised coronation. Before leaving France Becket issued three letters expelling (excommunicating) the Archbishop of York and two bishops from the Church. This act was to have devastating consequences upon his return to England.

Becket returned from exile on 1 December 1170. Contemporary reports record that he was greeted on his journey back to the Cathedral by cheering crowds and rejoicing monks, but he faced increasing hostility by the authorities loyal to the king. Meanwhile, the Archbishop of York and the Bishops of London and Salisbury, furious that they had been excommunicated, travelled to Henry’s royal court in Normandy where they relayed Becket’s actions to the king. Henry was outraged and, although it is unclear whether he ever specifically ordered retribution for Becket’s actions, his furious outburst prompted four knights – Reginald FitzUrse, William de Tracy, Hugh de Morville and Richard le Bret – to travel to Canterbury in search of Becket.

...One key account was written by a man named Edward Grim, who was so close to Becket during the skirmish that he was wounded by one of the knight’s swords. Grim tells us that when the four knights arrived at Canterbury Cathedral, Becket was in the Archbishop’s Palace. They attempted to arrest him but he refused. Becket was persuaded by the monks to take refuge in the church, but the knights pursued him, bursting into the Cathedral with swords drawn...As Grim recounts, Becket held tight onto one of the Cathedral’s pillars to prevent them seizing him, and it was at this point that one of the knights raised his sword for the first time, bringing it down on Becket, slicing off the crown of his head. Two of the other knights then started to attack Becket and most of the monks fled. The third blow brought the Archbishop’s life to an end...

Chaos ensued following the murder, and with none of those present knowing what to do next, the body remained where it had fallen for several hours. Some individuals dipped parts of their clothes in his spilled blood, or collected it in small vessels to take away in anticipation of Becket’s future sanctity. After spending the night on the high altar of the Cathedral, he was buried by the monks the next day in the crypt. Reports immediately circulated of miraculous healings connected to Becket. Facing increasing pressure from the people of Canterbury, the monks opened the crypt of the Cathedral so pilgrims could visit his tomb. An extraordinary wave of miracles was recorded and, in recognition of this, Becket was made a saint (canonised) by the Pope on 21 February 1173. It was one of the fastest canonisations in history. Becket’s reputation as a miracle-working saint spread quickly and people from all over Europe started to flock to Canterbury in the hope that they would be healed. As well as visiting the tomb, pilgrims could also purchase a mixture of his blood and water, called St Thomas’ Water, which was bottled and sold by opportunistic monks in small lead vessels called ampulla. Henry II, in a public act of penance for his involvement in the murder, visited the tomb in 1174, granting royal approval to Becket’s cult.

Becket’s death and subsequent miracles transformed Canterbury Cathedral into one of the most important pilgrimage destinations in Europe. In 1220 his body was moved from the crypt to a glittering new shrine in a purpose-built chapel upstairs in the Cathedral. Geoffrey Chaucer famously captured something of the atmosphere of pilgrimage to this shrine in his Canterbury Tales. In death Becket remained a figure of opposition to unbridled power and became seen as the quintessential defender of the rights of the Church. To this end you can find images of his murder in churches across Latin Christendom, from Germany and Spain, to Italy and Norway. Becket was, and remains, a truly European saint. His relics at Canterbury were visited by people from across the continent until 1538, when Henry VIII would label him a traitor, order the destruction of his shrine and try to wipe him from history altogether.

The cooker in my new flat is ridiculous. It's as if the designers tried to put the controls in the least logical order possible. Spurred on by this blog post I decided to do something about it.

 

It works very well as a band-aid solution, even with the rack on.

 

And don't worry about using permanent marker on your cooker: cookers make excellent whiteboards.

Albany's Broad Avenue Bridge was built in 1931 and spans the Flint River. In 2009, the Georgia Department of Transportation discovered structural flaws in the bridge and closed the bridge. It's 2011 and nothing has been done to the bridge, but construction on a new bridge is supposed to start sometime over the summer.

 

This bridge was part of the Dixie Highway, bringing motorists from Chicago down to Miami.

Los coleópteros son insectos holometábolos o endopterigotos, ya que sufren una metamorfosis completa con estados de larva, pupa e imago (adulto) netamente diferenciados. La larva normalmente sufre muchas mudas. Por el contrario, en los órdenes de insectos hemimetábolos o exopterigotos (por ejemplo los Dermaptera) las larvas o ninfas experimentan una metamorfosis incompleta o parcial por lo que se parecen a los adultos, con esbozos alares y genitalia que crecen con cada muda. Las larvas de los coleópteros no presentan nunca rastro de alas o genitalia, ojos compuestos, ni más de un simple segmento tarsal, y raramente más de 4 artejos antenales.

Test shoot using my newly acquired Light Blaster (light-blaster.com) which allows you to project your own backdrop images. Since I also have a big photoshoot coming up for a local hair salon I thought I'd kill two birds with one stone and get some salon test shots as well.

 

The Light Blaster performed well overall but it definitely has strengths and weaknesses. I just used an old 18-55mm Canon kit lens, I found I needed to use a lot of power. If I used a faster lens (ie wider aperture) it should require a bit less light. A big issue is that you really need to limit spill from your key light or else it will completely wash out the projected background. I was shooting in a small space so this didn't help that fact, if I had more room the key light would have fallen off quicker too.

Photographed during the Union Pacific Tie Replacement Production in Suisun City, CA, June 2008.

There's never been a Nursery web spider recorded at Sagehen (that I can find a record of, anyway), and they are not commonly observed in California. But they have been documented in wet areas nearby so it's (at least somewhat) likely that they are here in the Sagehen Basin, too. I took this photo of a cool New Hampshire Pisaurina spider while at an OBFS meeting one fall.

 

I'm using it here to illustrate a phenomenon that occurs in many Sagehen species: sexual cheating in the animal kingdom. For instance, after many days of attending to and guarding her from other males while she digs her redd, a large male and the female Brook Trout line up side by side and simultaneously deposit their eggs and milt. At that moment, young males will sometimes dart in and quickly release their contribution into the mix while the larger fish are briefly preoccupied and incapable of chasing him away. You can watch the whole show in the fishhouse every year in late summer.

 

Cases of cheating animals turn out to be very common. The evolutionary interests of males and females are simply in conflict: males have a much, much smaller reproductive commitment. Sperm is cheap, so it doesn't cost him much to splash it around as much as possible, even if it's unlikely to succeed (but it's not always sunshine and roses for the lads).

 

Meanwhile, females are generally choosy. Her reproduction can take a whole lot more out of her body, so she gets far fewer chances; plus, childbirth might kill her, endangering both her current offspring, and her offspring's future ones. Even if births go fine, just having children is enough strain that it may shorten her life. Therefore, reproduction is deadly serious business for her, and she has to be very, very careful (it turns out that there may be a rather sinister reason why humans haven't evolved away from high maternal death rates as one would expect...ugh).

 

So, the male has to convince her (and other gals) to invest her more limited reproductive capacity in him (and survive the date!). In humans, some birds, and other animals whose offspring require extended parental care to survive and thrive, males can often be far more faithful. And in fact, for some animals--like some seahorses and tropical fishes--it's the female that famously skips town after laying her eggs, leaving the male to do the work of raising the kids.

 

Getting back to the spider...the strategies to impress girls in the animal kingdom are varied, astonishing, and rightly famous. But sometimes it's just easier to try to pull the wool over her eyes:

 

"Dance flies and the nursery web spider, for example, cheat females if they can’t offer her a valuable food gift by wrapping a useless item, such as a dried insect fragment—or no gift at all—in silk. 'It’s like giving someone an empty box of chocolates; by the time the female’s unwrapped it, the male has already had his wicked way,' says [researcher] Vahed. 'It’s really bizarre.'"

 

There are many more examples of remarkable cheating behavior at the link. But it's not just the males--females cheat, too, and may have more imperative: to gain the simultaneous benefits of a particularly studly father's genetics, and the partnership investment of a less handsome good provider, for instance.

 

However, this is all rather simplistic, old-fashioned, anthropomorphic, and even somewhat misogynist thinking, "...animal dating strategies are far more complex and varied than initially acknowledged." For instance, female extra-pair mating in birds appears to also offer distinct advantages against predators and higher genetic diversity, including a greater number of disease-detecting genes. And female extra-pair mating seems to work to prevent speciation in diverging populations.

 

So why doesn't everybody just cheat all the time, since it's obviously easier? Research suggests that it just isn't as effective--it's often the strategy of last resort for total losers :)

 

"...both cheating and punishment are probably rarer than often supposed. Uncooperative individuals typically have lower, not higher, fitness than cooperators..."

 

Which makes sense, otherwise cooperation wouldn't exist at all. But some feeble reproductive success is better than none, especially when it may be your only chance: for instance, most of the little Brook Trout won't survive to be the big one.

 

If you continue to think about all this, you'll find that this whole field of inquiry is actually completely morally fraught, and appalling in its implications.

 

However, it's important to not fall into the Appeal to Nature (or Naturalistic Fallacy): that because something is natural, it's automatically good...or that if something IS, then it OUGHT to be. After all, it's perfectly natural for E. coli to eat hamburger...but that doesn't mean we should just accept that fact and choke down our slimy rotten meat. In fact, there are a number of multi-billion dollar global industries, and massive regulatory structures (and even religious dietary restrictions) that were generally initiated for nothing more than to prevent bacteria and other parasites from sickening us by spoiling our food supply.

 

So, despite the fact that there are some really repulsive things going on behind the scenes of our conscious minds, that is no excuse to ignore, glorify or justify vile behavior in ourselves or in others. Humans can make choices. And as social animals, we have to get along with each other to survive.

 

In the immortal words of Mick Jagger (and the unofficial theme song of the UC Natural Reserve System managers): "You Can't Always Get What You Want". In fact, how conflicts are controlled in social organisms is a major topic of evolution research.

 

Pairing up is so fraught and can be such a mess, that it's not surprising that some creatures just give it a hard pass!

 

Here's a recent book on all kinds of cheating in the animal world. Here's an example of another kind of animal cheating at Sagehen, and here's another one.

 

And all the roads we have to walk along are winding

And all the lights that lead us there are blinding

There are many things that I would

Like to say to you

I don't know how

Le 23 mai 2015, les citoyens du monde entier, dans une cinquantaine de pays et plus de 30 villes françaises, marcheront à nouveau contre Monsanto et consorts (Bayer, Syngenta, les multinationales des OGM et des pesticides). Toutes et tous dans la rue pour condamner ce modèle agricole accro à la chimie et aux manipulations du vivant, imposé au détriment des peuples et des paysans qui les nourrissent !

 

Lancées de façon autogérée par des citoyens soucieux de s’engager, ou par des militants associatifs locaux, ces marches sont des événements ouverts, sur un positionnement 100% citoyen, sans étiquette politique.

 

Nos revendications

 

Assez d’empoisonnement ! En mars 2015, le Centre international de recherche sur le cancer de l’Organisation mondiale de la santé classait le Roundup de Monsanto, l’herbicide le plus vendu au monde et indissociable de la culture des OGM, comme « probablement cancérogène ». Nous exigeons la prise en compte des études indépendantes sur les conséquences toxiques des OGM, pesticides et hormones de croissance, sur notre santé et sur l’environnement, ainsi que l’attribution de budgets publics permettant l’indépendance totale de la recherche sur ces sujets. Nous réclamons le retrait immédiat des produits toxiques abusivement présents sur le marché, pour agriculteurs ou jardiniers, et plus particulièrement le Roundup et les néonicotinoïdes tueurs d’abeilles.

 

OGM et Tafta, même combat ! Nous affirmerons notre opposition au projet de Grand marché transatlantique (TAFTA ou TTIP), cheval de Troie des multinationales de l’agrobusiness pour imposer les OGM et réduire toujours davantage les normes sanitaires destinées à protéger la santé des consommateurs. Demain, avec le TAFTA, des entreprises comme Monsanto pourraient attaquer les moratoires des États opposés à la culture des OGM devant des tribunaux d’arbitrage privés, et réclamer des indemnités de plusieurs millions puisées dans les deniers publics.

 

Réapproprions-nous les biens communs, contre les intérêts privés d’une minorité ! Nous exigeons la cessation immédiate des brevets sur les semences et le vivant, régulièrement entachés de biopiraterie, et la liberté d’usage des semences de ferme, ainsi que leur échange entre jardiniers amateurs, car il est inacceptable que des entreprises privées aient la mainmise sur une diversité génétique qui appartient à toute l’humanité, qui est le fruit d’un savoir-faire millénaire, et qui constitue la source de toute alimentation humaine. Il est inadmissible que dans de nombreux pays, particulièrement du Sud, les « lois semencières » dictées par les multinationales menacent la souveraineté alimentaire et criminalisent, comme de vulgaires voleurs, les paysans et paysannes qui produisent et échangent des semences traditionnelles.

 

Une alimentation saine pour tous ! Nous dénonçons la dérive des fermes-usines où des animaux sont parqués dans des cages pour être gavés d’OGM, sans qu’aucun étiquetage sur la viande n’éclaire le choix du consommateur. Le 23 mai nous manifesterons notre volonté d’une agriculture écologique, relocalisée, respectueuse des travailleurs agricoles comme des écosystèmes, et d’une alimentation capable de garantir notre santé et celle de nos enfants. L’agriculture biologique, sans OGM ni pesticides toxiques, respectant les équilibres climatiques, ne doit pas devenir une niche commerciale réservée à un public averti ou privilégié, mais bien la solution pour offrir une alimentation saine pour TOUS. Une première étape serait le passage de toutes les cantines scolaires et restaurants collectifs à des menus « 100 % bio » afin de soutenir les transitions d’agriculteurs désireux de faire évoluer leurs pratiques.

Le Sommet des Consciences pour le climat www.dailymotion.com/video/x2yukt6

 

Lancé par Nicolas Hulot, envoyé spécial du président de la République pour la protection de la planète, le Sommet des Consciences réunit le 21 juillet 2015 à Paris, au CESE plus d'une quarantaine personnalités morales et religieuses du monde entier pour répondre à la question « The climate, why do I care ? » et lancer ensemble un « Appel des Consciences pour le climat ».

 

Une mobilisation des consciences de tous le habitants de la planète s’impose pour réussir le défi auquel l’humanité est confrontée : limiter le réchauffement du climat en diminuant sa consommation d’énergies fossiles et permettre à tous de s’adapter aux conditions nouvelles !

 

Le Temps est compté. Ce n’est plus seulement une question écologique, économique ou politique. C’est l’avenir de l’humanité qui est en jeu. Chacun de nous se doit de répondre maintenant à la question : est-ce qu’il m’importe que l’aventure de l’humanité sur Terre puisse se poursuivre ? Est-ce que je suis prêt à modifier dès aujourd’hui mon mode de vie pour que nos enfants et leurs enfants puissent vivre dans des conditions supportables ?

 

L'Appel des consciences

 

Il est fondamental que les consciences des hommes et des femmes de cette planète s'expriment ensemble, quelques soient leurs conditions, leurs religions, leurs philosophies.

 

La campagne "Why do I care ?" invite chacun à témoigner, et à faire savoir autour de lui, pourquoi la lutte contre le réchauffement climatique est importante et nous concerne chacun.

Plaidoyer d'un homme libre

 

« Les sommets sur le climat se succèdent, nous croulons sous l'avalanche de rapports plus alarmants les uns que les autres. Et l'on se rassure avec une multitude de déclarations d'intention et de bonnes résolutions. Si la prise de conscience progresse, sa traduction concrète reste dérisoire. L'humanité doit se ressaisir, sortir de son indifférence et faire naître un monde qui prend enfin soin de lui. »

Nicolas Hulot, Président de la Fondation Nicolas Hulot pour la Nature et l'Homme

 

Ce manifeste écrit par Nicolas Hulot est un cri du coeur, un plaidoyer pour l'action, un ultime appel à la mobilisation et un coup de poing sur la table des négociations climat avant le grand rendez-vous de la COP21. Il engage chacun à apporter sa contribution dans l'écriture d'un nouveau chapitre de l'aventure humaine, à nous changer nous mêmes et par ce biais à changer le monde.

 

Diagnostic implacable, constat lucide mais surtout propositions concrètes pour les responsables politiques et pistes d'action accessibles pour chacun d'entre nous, cet ouvrage est l'aboutissement de son engagement et de sa vision en toute liberté des solutions à « prescrire » avant et après la COP21. L'urgence est à l'action. En 12 propositions concrètes, Nicolas Hulot dresse, avec sa Fondation, une feuille de route alternative pour les États et suggère 10 engagements individuels pour que chacun puisse également faire bouger les lignes à son niveau.

 

Depuis 40 ans, Nicolas Hulot parcourt la planète. Témoin de sa lente destruction, il a décidé de devenir un des acteurs de sa reconstruction. Au côté de sa Fondation pour la Nature et l'Homme ou en parlant aux oreilles des décideurs, il contribue à faire évoluer les mentalités.

My terrible twins, both OM2n's.

 

Deliberately got a black one A.) Because I wanted one but B.) So I had an easy way to recall at a glance the difference so if I go out with one sporting a 28mm and the other a 100mm, I can easily switch without missing the shot.

 

You could say "shoot a zoom" and you might be right (the Zuiko 35-105mm is very good) but then you have the size and I might be a Luddite, and I'm probably missing something, but composition for me is not the same without a prime, no longer do I feel like I am framing, more squeezing in. The rigid proportions of a prime and its inherent inflexibility work better for me and force me to consider my position in relation to the scene in a way a zoom doesn't.
