The movie and play Becket had Henry and his barons saying some awful things about Saxon dogs, scum, etc.

The ironic thing was that Thomas a Becket was Norman, not Saxon. When the playwright found that out she didn't change anything because she thought the story played better if Thomas was a Saxon. One would have thought she would know that a Becket is not a Saxon name.
