Since Becket is Henry's loyal servant, the power of the church was about to fall right into the hands of Henry. Or so he thought.
Thomas Becket changed. His old life of luxury and accessories morphed into a life of strict obedience and religious zeal to God. His loyalty to the King turned into an immobile trust and love for God, and his great mind was now a property of the Church. When Henry first heard of this unbelievable change in Becket, he sent letter after letter to him just to make sure that his best friend had not sided with his enemy. Sadly, Becket was a man of God now. See http://www.123helpme.com/view.asp?id=22909 for more info
The conflict between Henry II and Thomas Becket came into the open when Henry issued the Constitutions of Clarendon, on January 30, 1164. It went on until Becket was murdered on December 29, 1170.
1167-1169
it was because Thomas Becket an Henry II had an argument( not sure when) and Henry II then decided that he had enough and mad the Archbishop of York do the honour when actually it was supposed to be Thomas Becket (the Archbishop of Canterbury's) job.
Henry II and Thomas Becket fell out. (IDK what that means, but it was on a historical paper...)
None, since Edward II lived long after Thomas Becket died. Thomas lived at the time of king Henry II.
Thomas Becket, also known as Thomas à Becket, was the Archbishop of Canterbury in the 12th century. He clashed with King Henry II over the rights and privileges of the church. Becket was ultimately murdered by followers of the King, which led to his sainthood and the veneration of his memory as a martyr.

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.

Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury.
Henry II and Thomas Becket were both powerful, Henry as a king and Becket as Archbishop of Canterbury. They were both trying to consolidate or maintain the power of their organizations. And they were both very stubborn.

Thomas Becket fell out with Henry II because Henry chose Thomas to be arch bishop because he wanted the church on his side. But it all went wrong for him. Thomas went to the church's side and forgot all about Henry. that made Henry angry.
