Thomas Becket stayed in France for 6 years until King Henry let him come back.
Thomas Becket was found guilty of trumped up charges brought by Henry II and fled to Pontigny Abbey, a bit south of Paris. He returned when Henry relented out of fear the Pope would excommunicate him. Not long after, Becket was killed by Henry's knights.
None, since Edward II lived long after Thomas Becket died. Thomas lived at the time of king Henry II.
Before Thomas Becket was killed, there was a long-standing conflict between him and King Henry II of England. Becket had previously served as Henry's chancellor but had a falling out with the king over the issue of royal authority versus ecclesiastical independence. This led to tensions and ultimately culminated in Becket's murder by knights who believed they were following the king's wishes.
Henry was very upset, Thomas' body was buried in the Cathedral. Not long after Thomas was made a Saint.

Nothing. By the time Henry VIII was alive, Becket had been dead for a very long time. You might be confusing Thomas Becket with Thomas More. More opposed Henry on several levels and was ultimately beheaded. Type "Thomas More" into your search engine of choice and do a little research. It's an interesting subject.

Thomas Becket after being in France for about six years returned to show he was not a coward and tried to defeat king Henry 2nd He went to the Canterbury catherdal and was murdered in sight of everyone by the kings knights questions still remain unanswered about if the king himself ordered Becket to be murdered by the knights. The knights believed they were doing the king's bidding.
Because Thomas senced danger because him and Henry had an argument after he made Thomas Archbishop of Canterbury, because Thomas wouldn't help change the church courts because he had become more religious.
Nothing! He was not given his patronages until long after he died.
Thomas Becket was Archbishop of Canterbury for only 8 years 1162 until his death in 1170. Incidently, he spent a large portion of this time in exile in France.
He was made a saint. Then remembered for it being a time for a very long time that the church was interfered with.
