Lost. The king had his head cut off.

__

The King did not have Thomas Becket beheaded.

Becket was murdered by 4 knights who thought they would win the King's favour by ridding him of the troublesome Archbishop. He was hacked to death. Afterwards the knights responsible for this were disgraced and the cathedral became a huge pilgrimage site.

Becket may have lost his life, but in a way he won the argument by becoming a martyr to his faith.

How did most people react to the church's authority in the Medieval Times?

In some cases, the word of the Church was greater than the word of a noble. You wouldn't want to anger an institution that had more followers than a small kingdom.AnswerMost people accepted the authority of the Church throughout medieval times. There were people who were heretics. For example the Cathars, who were numerous enough and organized enough that the Church launched the Albigensian Crusade against them.There were individuals who opposed the Church for reasons of their own. King Henry II of England comes to mind. He wanted to increase his authority at the expense of the Church, and this made him run afoul of Thomas Becket. Ultimately Henry's knights killed Becket, and this caused Henry to lose both power and prestige, even though it was never alleged that he ordered the assassination.
