“”Who will rid me of this meddlesome cleric?” “

I’d like to know who, among the readership, would say: Henry the second and Tomas Becket.

The most famous example of the kind of 'pressure' a leader can exert to have something accomplished without 'overtly' ordering anyone.

The press knows this and claiming no one ordered the deed means nothing.

I would have gotten 50% (Becket), if only because I visited Canterbury, and saw the place where Becket was murdered.
