#HenryII:
"What miserable drones and traitors have I nourished and brought up in my household, who let their lord be treated with such shameful contempt by a low-born cleric?"
Loyal knights listen and go and spread #ThomasABecket's brains on the floor of Canterbury Cathedral.
There may be some parallels between the that tale of #ThomasABecket and today's USA.
