In page Thomas Becket:

"

The translation of Becket's body occurred on 7 July 1220, the 50th jubilee year of his death, and was "one of the great symbolic events in the life of the medieval English Church", attended by King Henry III, the papal legate, Archbishop of Canterbury Stephen Langton, and many dignitaries and magnates, both secular and ecclesiastical.[citation needed] A "major new feast day was instituted, commemorating the translation... celebrated each July almost everywhere in England and in many French churches."[3] It was suppressed in 1536 with the Reformation.[4] The shrine was destroyed in 1538 during the dissolution of the monasteries on orders from King Henry VIII.[5][6] He also destroyed Becket's bones and ordered all mention of his name obliterated.[6][7]
