Why did Becket hate Henry II?
I don't think there is any real evidence indicating that Becket hated Henry II. On the contrary, it looks much more like Becket liked Henry. The problem was not hatred, but the fact that Becket had been given a job with importance to the church, and part of that job included protecting the church and the interests of the church. When Henry sought to acquire those interests for himself, Becket was duty bound not to let him. Becket was stubborn, but he seems to have been acting quite honestly and dispassionately.
