Why did Thomas Becket and Henry II have a argument?

medieval priests did not always behave as we would expect our priests today to behave. some of them commited crimes and had to be punished. but these priests could ask to be tried by the church's own courts and often got light sentence's. Henry did not like this and passed new laws saying that priests should be tried in the kings courts like everyone else. Becket said Henry was interfering with the rights of the church. He and Henry quarrelled so strongly that in, 1165, Becket left England! Becket returned in 1170 and he and Henry tried to work together. but Becket got so cross about what had happened he immediately excommunicated(exspelled from church) all those bishops who had been helping Henry wile he was abroad, the king could hardly believe it. in his anger he is said to have shouted "who will rid me of this turbulent priest?" Four knights decided Henry wanted Becket dead and murdered him. Henry later claimed that he didn't mean that at all ! :) x
