The primary suspects in the death of Thomas Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury, were four knights loyal to King Henry II of England: Reginald fitz Urse, Hugh de Morville, William de Tracy, and Richard le Bret. They believed they were acting on the king's wishes after Henry's frustration with Becket's opposition to royal authority. The knights confronted Becket in Canterbury Cathedral on December 29, 1170, leading to his murder. This act ultimately sparked outrage and led to Becket's martyrdom and canonization.
Thomas Becket did not have any children. He was a cleric and served as the Archbishop of Canterbury, and he chose to remain celibate in accordance with his religious commitments. His life was dedicated to church affairs and his conflict with King Henry II, rather than to family life.
king the second murdered Thomas Becket because he didnt support the king
When Becket became archbishop he became religions and did not do what Henry said
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.
King Henry didn't won't his guards to kill Thomas Becket but he said the line "Will no-one raid me of this troublesome priest!" in a jokey sort of way but his guards herd him and went to kill Becket. The king was ashamed of what he said and walked out bare foot and in rags and let people thow stones at him because he was so upset.
Thomas More was friends with Erasmus who wrote Praise of Folly. Erasmus dedicated the book to More. Thomas More was also close to Henry VIII until the King wanted a divorce. Henry VIII chose to execute Thomas More. Thomas' last words were "The king's good servant, but God's first."
The king was to blame for Thomas Becket's murder because he told the knights to kill Thomas but the knights didn't had to do what he said but they did and hit Thomas in the head and killed him. Also Thomas told the monks to leave the door open so the monks did. Also the king shouldn't have wanted to kill him anyway and the Knights had to obey the kings orders

In a debate defending the negative side, why shouldn't Thomas More yielded to King Henry?
Thomas More chose to remain Catholic and opposed the Protestant Reformation during his lifetime. He was executed for his refusal to accept King Henry VIII as the supreme head of the Church of England.
Thomas More was never a king. He was the Chancellor of England uner King Henry VIII.
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.
