I think you're referring to the murder of Thomas Becket. That's actually a pretty interesting story. The King of England at the time was in the middle of a power struggle with the Bishop Thomas Becket. Out of anger the King shouted out something like "Will no one rid me of this confounded Bishop". The King didn't actually mean for anyone to kill Becket, however some dumb guards who overheard the King yell, thought it was an order and thus took it upon themselves to murder Becket while he was praying at an alter. On an interesting note, Becket is actually in the game. If you build a Bishop after a certain year, a high valour Bishop named Thomas Becket will be built.
