According to some accounts, it was discovered that Becket had worn a hairshirt under his archbishop's garments—a sign of penance. [11] Soon after, the faithful throughout Europe began venerating Becket as a martyr, and in 1173 — barely three years after his death — he was canonised by Pope Alexander III in St. Peter's Church in Segni. On 12 July 1174, in the midst of the Revolt of 1173–1174, Henry humbled himself with public penance at Becket's tomb (see also St. Dunstan's, Canterbury), which became one of the most popular pilgrimage sites in England. Becket's assassins fled north to Knaresborough Castle, which was held by Hugh de Morville, where they remained for about a year.
