Boring History for Sleep 🩸 | Thomas Becket Ep4: Thomas Becket’s Final Straw

Описание: Boring History for Sleep — The uneasy return of a turbulent priest
Boring History for Sleep, Sleepless Historian, Boring History.
If you enjoy sleep story, relaxing narration, deep sleep, bedtime stories, insomnia relief, white noise, guided meditation, and calming history, this episode is for you.

You return to Canterbury in the cold of December 1170, a bishop with more grudges than friends. Your ship is quiet. The monks wait, the townsfolk whisper, and somewhere across the Channel, a king already feels the headache building. Within days, you excommunicate your enemies with ceremony and Latin flair. The seals gleam. The air shifts. England realises the storm has circled back.

Bishops flee across the sea to complain to Henry. They say you have gone rogue again, but you know the truth — they are simply losing. In Normandy, the king listens, paces, and finally breaks his silence with a cry that will echo for centuries. Four knights hear him and begin their own journey, armed with steel, certainty, and no written orders.

You continue as before: letters, masses, and an unshakable belief that martyrdom is inevitable. The air in Canterbury grows heavy. Doors bolt against the cold. And far away, a ship carries four armed men toward your quiet cathedral.
