What did Thomas Becket say that made the king say who will rid me of this troublesome preist?
Thomas Becket's assertive stance on the church's independence from royal authority frustrated King Henry II. Becket's refusal to submit to the king's wishes, particularly regarding the rights of the church and its clergy, led to mounting tensions. In a moment of exasperation, Henry reportedly exclaimed, "Who will rid me of this troublesome priest?" This statement was interpreted by his knights as an invitation to take drastic action against Becket, ultimately leading to his assassination in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170.
