It was one HUGE misunderstanding

So, some of you may know about the story of how Thomas Becket was murdered by some of King Henry's men after a night in France where the King declared "Will no one rid me of this bishop?" Well, ya see heres what really happened..

King Henry II: Guys, I'm bored.

Knight 1: Me too. We could joust!!

Knight 2: LAME. We could pillage!!

Knight 3: IDIOT. We could get some harlots.

-everyone stares-

K3: Nevermind. We could.. play chess..

KH: Cool, but I'm too good fo y'all so get me a great scholar to play

-Some scholar hunting later-

K1: Found one!! Play him.

Scholar: Er.. hi, I'm not a scholar, I'm just a..

K2: Shut up.

KH: Let us do battle.

-begins playing-

KH: Are you guys just gonna stand there all night?! Do something.

K3: But..

KH: GO!!

-grumbling-

Outside the room the 3 knights waited all night. They listened in on the conversation the 2 men were having. The king brought up his former friend Thomas Becket who was now a thorn in his side. The knight then overheard the King shout:

"AHHH!! WILL NO ONE RID ME OF THIS BISHOP!!"

K3:Guys wake up, we've got a mission.

K2: Shut up, and let me sleep.

K1: Yeah, what he said.

K3: But, we have to kill the Bishop of Canterbury.

K1: KILL THE BISHOP ARE YOU MAD?!

K2: Quiet down, lets go I've got a plan.

The men sneak off into the night, taking a boat across the English channel and then riding to Canterbury where they kill the bishop.

Back in France the next day....

KH: GUYS, Where the hell did you guys go?

K2: Oh, we just took care of that bishop for you.

K1: Yeah, the one you told us to rid you of last night.

-Kings face goes white-

KH: I meant the PIECE IN CHESS. NOT THE ACTUAL BISHOP.

K3: Oh, that does make more sense..

K1: It does..

K2: Our bad..

KH: I'M GONNA KILL YOU.

So you see the King never meant to kill the bishop his men just took his orders by mistake thats all. How one little misunderstanding ruined history..
