Comment

A fascinating (and amusing) account, from a variety of scholarly perspectives, of the coming to England, and Canterbury, of a relic of St Thomas Becket preserved at Esztergom in Hungary. Includes comparison with the rediscovered body of Richard III in Leicester. The author, of Oxford University, is the CSJ's Storrs Lecturer for 2023.
