What were the accomplishments of Thomas Becket?
Thomas Becket was the Archbishop of Canterbury. At the same time, King Henry II, who had been Becket's close friend, was trying to increase his own power at the expense of the Church. Becket resisted this and was assassinated in the cathedral during Vespers. Four knights had tried to get him to leave with them, and when he refused, they attacked him with their swords, while he continued to say his prayers. As a result of these acts, King Henry was humiliated and the power of the Church was significantly increased. Becket was a martyr, and the Church soon declared him to be a saint. Pilgrims went to Canterbury to visit the shrine of a saint to had stood up to a king, and this also diminished the stature of the monarchy for centuries, until the Church in England was pretty much overwhelmed by King Henry VIII.
Who is fault was the death of Thomas Becket?
Henry II as he said ' Who will rid me of this trubelsome priest' I don't think Henry meant it that way as the knights who killed becket did. The King Said 'Who will rid me of this trubelsome priest'; Once Thomas was killed the king said he didn't mean that he should actually be killed - The day after his death, apparently he walked around the Cathedral with his back being whipped to say sorry To Thomas. So its really your decision. The King blamed Himself; But the knights blamed themselves. :)-Lana

What did Thomas Becket say that made the king say who will rid me of this troublesome preist?
Thomas Becket's assertive stance on the church's independence from royal authority frustrated King Henry II. Becket's refusal to submit to the king's wishes, particularly regarding the rights of the church and its clergy, led to mounting tensions. In a moment of exasperation, Henry reportedly exclaimed, "Who will rid me of this troublesome priest?"
