The quarrel was over the fact that if a clergyman ( person who worked for the church ) commited ed a crime they would go before the church court. The penalties in the church courts were very moderate e.g. if a clergyman commited murder he would be sent on a pilgrimage were as a normal man would be hung. Henry II thought this unfair so appointed Thomas a Becket as archbishop of Canterbury in the hope that Becket would help him. The plan backfired and Becket soon turned to the Church's side thus resulting in the quarrel.
