The primary difference between the play Becket and the film version is that in the play, the central conflict between Becket and King Henry II was the Constitution of Clarendon, whereas in the film, it was the assassination of a priest by Lord Gilbert, who was subsequently excommunicated by Becket.

A side note is that Anouilh wrote the play proclaiming that Becket was Saxon; in reality, he was Norman.

How accurate is the movie Becket?

The movie "Becket," while based on historical events surrounding the conflict between Thomas Becket and King Henry II of England, takes creative liberties for dramatic effect. Certain characterizations and events are exaggerated or simplified, which may not fully align with historical accounts. Nonetheless, it captures the essence of the power struggle and the themes of loyalty and morality present in Becket's life. Overall, while it provides an engaging narrative, it should not be regarded as a strictly accurate historical depiction.
