What did Henry do to say sorry for beckets death?

After the murder of Thomas Becket in 1170, King Henry II expressed deep remorse and guilt for his role in the event, although he did not directly order it. To show his contrition, he undertook a pilgrimage to Becket's shrine in Canterbury in 1174, where he walked barefoot and was publicly penitent. Additionally, Henry imposed a form of penance by allowing the church to punish his knights who were involved in the crime and by making significant donations to the church.


Was thomas beckets death caused by the bishops?

Some violent words of Henry were taken literally by four leading knights of the court, who proceeded swiftly to Canterbury (December 29), forced themselves into the Archbishop's presence, and, on his refusal to absolve the bishops, followed him into the cathedral. There, at twilight, after further altercation, they cut him down with their swords. His last words were an acceptance of death in defense of the church of Christ.


Who were the suspects of thomas beckets death?

The primary suspects in the death of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, were four knights loyal to King Henry II of England: Reginald fitz Urse, Hugh de Morville, William de Tracy, and Richard le Bret. They believed they were acting on the king's wishes after Henry's frustration with Becket's opposition to royal authority. The knights confronted Becket in Canterbury Cathedral on December 29, 1170, leading to his murder. This act ultimately sparked outrage and led to Becket's martyrdom and canonization.
