Since Becket is Henry's loyal servant, the power of the church was about to fall right into the hands of Henry. Or so he thought. Thomas Becket changed. His old life of luxury and accessories morphed into a life of strict obedience and religious zeal to God. His loyalty to the King turned into an immobile trust and love for God, and his great mind was now a property of the Church. When Henry first heard of this unbelievable change in Becket, he sent letter after letter to him just to make sure that his best friend had not sided with his enemy. Sadly, Becket was a man of God now. See http://www.123helpme.com/view.asp?id=22909 for more info
