Presentation transcript:

King Henry II was very angry at religious people in England such as monks. This is because if they broke a law – like murder – they were allowed to go to a church court instead of a normal court and as long as they said they were sorry and prayed they were set free. When the Archbishop of Canterbury died Henry II could choose who replaced him – he chose Thomas Becket. He wanted Becket to help him change the law so that monks, priests and nuns would have to pay for their crimes… Thomas Becket was not at all religious!

Get that blasted man out of my country!

Henry II made lots of changes to the English church whilst Thomas was in France. Eventually he missed his best friend, Thomas, and invited him back to England. Thomas returns, but Henry II is visiting people in France and they miss each other. The first thing that Thomas does when he gets back to England is order all priests to ignore whatever Henry II has said and put things back to normal… Henry is not happy when he hears about this!

“Who will rid me of this turbulent priest?”
