In the happy times, Thomas Beckett was the chief justice of Henry, and was basically the right-hand man to the throne. Henry even raised his son at Beckett's house. As a custom at that time, it was easy to say that the two men respected each other, but this did not last until 1 16 1 theobald, Archbishop of Beckett (recommended Beckett as archbishop), died. Beckett was the deacon of Canterbury under the leadership of theobald, and the natural heir of the Archbishop. Beckett was elected on 1 162. When Beckett became the representative of Rome in England, the relationship between Henry and Beckett deteriorated rapidly.
At that time, Henry thought it was the best result. Henry believes that Beckett's service time may lead the new archbishop to give the royal family the ruling space without interference or even influence from the church. Beckett's true loyalty was only tested in 1 163 when a priest was accused of murder. At that time, the practice of the church was to judge its own members, and the priest was acquitted after being tried. The public thought that the church was unfairly biased against its members and demanded justice, which led Henry to try the priest in his own court.
Instead, Henry II Beckett exiled the priest, thinking it was a complete compromise. Later, Henry tried to amend the law to give the power of the court to the clergy, which caused Beckett's resistance. In turn, Henry summoned Beckett to court on the grounds that Beckett was responsible for a sum of money during his tenure as Chancellor of the Exchequer. Beckett later went into exile for six years, continued to perform his religious duties, and at the same time became a thorn in Henry's side, expelling several royal officers, which the Pope instructed him not to do. Rome had hoped to mediate peace between the two sides, but no agreement was reached.
Henry's son was crowned "Little Henry" by Bishop York, and Henry was still alive, which was an insult and finally allowed the Pope to let Beckett punish Henry. Beckett's ban finally forced Henry to return to the negotiating table and allowed Beckett to return to Britain on July 22, 1970. However, before Beckett landed, he fired three of Henry's officers: Roger and Gilbert follett of York Yue Se Forest in Salisbury and the Bishop of London. Beckett claimed that he could forgive Yue Se Lynn and Freud, but not Roger, which made Roger turn to the other two men and beg the king to do something.
The news was frustrated by Henry, who is said to have said a famous sentence now, "Can't anyone drive me away from this troublesome priest?" "Henry's four knights, as an order, then attacked Beckett in the cathedral and executed him for treason. The narrative of the murder case claims that the four knights sailed to Canterbury and first tried to get Beckett to leave the church to face the king. After Beckett refused, the four knights left the church and came back the next day to persecute Beckett. In the ensuing struggle, Beckett was fatally hit on the head, and the knights began to attack the archbishop to ensure his death.
Whether Henry's order is serious has always been the focus of debate, although Fallot
