Actually, King Henry II did not order the execution or assassination of Thomas a' Beckett. Henry was known to have a horrible temper, and in haste shouted aloud in the presence of his knights "Who will rid me of this troublesome Priest". Four of King Henry II's Knights took his words to mean he wanted Thomas killed; he actually did not literally want anyone to kill Thomas. ---- he didnt agree about the pope

In Thomas Beckett's absence (he and the king were quarreling), Henry II had the Archbishop of York perform the pre-coronation of his heir, Henry (who died before his father). This was normally the job of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Beckett, and he was furious when he returned. Rather than letting bygones be bygones, Beckett excommunicated The Archbishop of York and threatened an interdict on England. Here is where Henry supposedly delivered his famous line, "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"
One of the results of killing Thomas Beckett was that he became famous and king Henry was flogged but monks and nuns and lost his power to the throne
