It was common for kings to appoint their own people to church offices of power. At the same time, it was common for the Pope or various bishops to want to be able to reserve this right for the church.
King Henry II of England put together a plan to reduce church authority in favor of the crown. The plan was called the Constitutions of Clarendon. He required the Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, to agree in writing, which Becket refused to do. This lead to a disagreement that ultimately lead to Becket's death at the hands of Henry's knights. For Henry, this was a disaster which tainted the remainder of his reign and was one of the greatest regrets of his life. Becket was considered a martyr and saint, and pilgrimages to Canterbury began very quickly, during the reign of King Henry.
