in einem Reliquiar vom Anfang des 12. Jahrhunderts
This date is too early. Becket was killed in 1170, and official museum records date the Paris Becket reliquary to the late 12th or early 13th century, not the beginning of the 12th century.
Full reasoning
The article says a Becket reliquary in Paris is from the beginning of the 12th century. That cannot be right.
Thomas Becket died in 1170 and was canonized in 1173, so objects made specifically to house his relics necessarily postdate his death and cult. The Musée de Cluny’s own page for its Châsse de saint Thomas Becket dates it to "XIIe siècle - XIIIe siècle" (12th–13th century), not the beginning of the 12th century. The French Ministry of Culture’s object record for a Becket object at the Musée national du Moyen Âge likewise dates it to the first quarter of the 13th century. Comparable Becket chasses in French national collections are dated to the late 12th century (for example, 1180–1190 in the Louvre/POP record).
So the dating in the article is off by many decades: a Becket reliquary in Paris belongs to the late 12th / early 13th century, not the beginning of the 12th century.
