Hugh de Morville fled with the others to Saltwood, to South Malling, then to
Scotland. Fled finally to his own castle at Kanaresborough, where he sheltered
his fellow criminals. Thet remained there, shunned by all. They eventually
did a penance of service in the Holy Land (given by the pope), but the
murderers regained royal favor. Morville died in 1204. William Tracy died
in 1173; he struck the first blow after Becket greeted him by name on
29 December. He confessed to his local bishop after the murder. He was the
first to surrender to the pope's mercy, but the last to set out for the Holy
Land. He never made it. Died in Sicily. There is a good atricle in _The
Historian_ on the murderers of Becket. It was published in either 1973 or
1974. I don't recall the particulars and do not have my copies handy.
