Desiderius Erasmus, Thomas Becket
no he just loved god. King Henry was gay and was angry that Thomas could not be gay and love him.
He changed history by basically being loved because after his death the public were extremely angry at the four knights and king Henry. Also Henry was so sorry that he ordered the church to whip him whilst he lent against Thomas Becket's tomb to show his respect. I hope that answers your question.
Thomas Becket was murdered by Reginald Fitzurse, Hugh de Moreville, William de Tracy and Richard Brito. Grim was a monk who witnessed the murder and was himself injured. He wrote an account of the murder. Note: The name of the last knight above should be Richard le Breton. He was an ancestor of Lilly Langtry whose maiden name was le Breton.
