The Tale of Canterbury
It is 1164. The English king Henry II and the pope are quarreling. The king has recently appointed his friend Thomas Becket bishop of Canterbury, but he does not have the authority to do so at all. The conflict runs high. Henry is therefore deeply disappointed when his \\\"friend\\\" Thomas finally sides with the pope.
The king decides to send an assassin on Thomas, but he does not manage to finish the job. How is it possible! Henry is furious and calls everyone to a manhunt for the bishop. Thomas has to get out of there. When the two men were still friends, Henry once told him about the secret exit from Canterbury. He has always been vague about the exact location. Thomas must find that exit!
