Thomas More was never a king. He was the Chancellor of England uner King Henry VIII.
Thomas More chose to remain Catholic and opposed the Protestant Reformation during his lifetime. He was executed for his refusal to accept King Henry VIII as the supreme head of the Church of England.
King Henry II got angry because Thomas Becket betrayed him by kicking out all the loyal people in the church of England and also kicked out the Archbishop of York. So king Henry II sent out knights to search and to kill Thomas Becket. Then King Henry II tried to stop the nights but it was too late. So that is why King Henry II got angry with Thomas Becket.
