What does the Archbishop of York have to do with Thomas Becket's murder?
Wiki User
∙ 14y ago
In Thomas Beckett's absence (he and the king were quarreling), Henry II had the Archbishop of York perform the pre-coronation of his heir, Henry (who died before his father). This was normally the job of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Beckett, and he was furious when he returned. Rather than letting bygones be bygones, Beckett excommunicated The Archbishop of York and threatened an interdict on England. Here is where Henry supposedly delivered his famous line, "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"
