Sir William de Tracy

In a few weeks I'm going to England for the second time (first time in 1984).  Although I won't be doing any genealogical research, I will be seeing many sites that I have a genealogical tie to.  One such outing will be Canterbury.  The murder of Saint Thomas Becket by four knights of Henry II is well known.  Henry certainly took the blame and I descend from him innumerable times.

One of the four knights who murdered Thomas Becket was Sir William de Tracy.  I descend from him too.
