A scholar of Trinity College, Cambridge, who became canon of
Canterbury in 1859, James Craigie Robertson (1813-82) edited for
the Rolls Series this seven-volume work, published between 1875 and
1885. Superseding the earlier work of J. A. Giles, it is a
collection of contemporary Latin lives and letters relating to the
life of Thomas Becket (c.1120-70). Rising through the ranks to
become royal chancellor and then archbishop of Canterbury, Becket
fell dramatically out of favour with Henry II and, on his return
from exile, was famously murdered in the cathedral church at
Canterbury. Following his canonisation in 1173, his reputation grew
considerably throughout western Christendom. Volume 3 contains the
lives compiled by William Fitzstephen, a close contemporary, and
Herbert of Bosham, who campaigned for Becket's canonisation and was
one of his longest-serving clerks and closest friends.
