The monks who attempted to help Thomas Becket escape were known as the monks of the Benedictine Abbey of Canterbury, but specific names are not widely recorded in historical accounts. However, it is noted that they were loyal to Becket and were concerned for his safety during his conflicts with King Henry II. Their efforts were ultimately unsuccessful, as Becket remained in Canterbury and faced his tragic fate in 1170.
