Treason felonyIn addition to the crime of treason, the Treason Felony Act 1848 (still in force today) created a new offence known as treason felony, with a maximum sentence of life imprisonment instead of death (but today, due to the abolition of the death penalty, the maximum penalty both for high treason and treason felony is the same—life imprisonment). Under the traditional categorisation of offences into treason, felonies, and misdemeanours, treason felony was merely another form of felony. Several categories of treason which had been introduced by the Sedition Act 1661 were reduced to felonies. While the common law offences of misprision and compounding were abolished in respect of felonies (including treason felony) by the Criminal Law Act 1967, which abolished the distinction between misdemeanour and felony, misprision of treason and compounding treason are still offences under the common law.It is treason felony to "compass, imagine, invent, devise, or intend":to deprive the sovereign of the Crown,to levy war against the sovereign "in order by force or constraint to compel her to change her measures or counsels, or in order to put any force or constraint upon or in order to intimidate or overawe both Houses or either House of Parliament", orto "move or stir" any foreigner to invade the United Kingdom or any other country belonging to the sovereign.
54:00 Henry II: "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"
The four knights who murdered Thomas Becket after hearing King Henry II's outburst faced excommunication and were ordered to undertake a 14-year crusade in the Holy Land.
Punishment and Penance
Excommunication: The Pope excommunicated all four knights—Reginald FitzUrse, Hugh de Morville, William de Tracy, and Richard le Bret—shortly after the assassination in Canterbury Cathedral on December 29, 1170.
Holy Land Pilgrimage: Pope Alexander III commanded the knights to travel to the Holy Land and serve as knights fighting in the Crusades for 14 years as penance for their crime.
Properties and Titles: Despite fleeing and falling into temporary disgrace, they did not face execution or a standard secular trial by the king, though their actions severely damaged Henry II's political standing and forced the king to perform his own famous penance.
