I'm surprised at Thomas Becket, whom many consider a saint.

Hi Abbey, Chonsi - I too thought Thomas Beckett was a saint and martyr. His tomb is in Canterbury Cathedral. Celebrated a day or two after Christmas, from memory. As for Bad King John - many now think the only 'bad' thing about him was 'bad press'. While his brother 'Good King Richard' bankrupted England gadding about on crusades (and with his blonde troubadour boyfriend) his little bro overhauled the country's legal system and - by standards of the time - actually tried to govern fairly

I am stunned that this has been labelled by the poll as Briton's. I would suggest that you may get a very different list from Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland.
My Top Five
Charles 1st
George IV
Duke of Windsor
Oswald Mosely
Tony Blair

What did martyr Becket do to end up as second worst Briton?

I'm flabbergasted too chonsi...very strange. Some of the others are rather obscure which makes me wonder who they asked.

One of the churches in my village is named after Thomas Beckett.

Even the replies to Thomas Becket being on the list show the poll to be very slanted. I'm one the side that consider him a saint..............thank you for the link LC!:)

It's not known for a fact that Jack The Ripper was British. Some historians believe he was in fact A merican due to Americanisms in his letters such as 'ha ha' if my memory serves me
