Lost. The king had his head cut off. __ The King did not have Thomas Becket beheaded. Becket was murdered by 4 knights who thought they would win the King's favour by ridding him of the troublesome Archbishop. He was hacked to death. Afterwards the knights responsible for this were disgraced and the cathedral became a huge pilgrimage site. Becket may have lost his life, but in a way he won the argument by becoming a martyr to his faith.
