Well, it depends on which King Henry you mean. During the reign of Henry the VIII, the Archbishop of Canterbury was William Warham followed by Thomas Cramner. If you mean a different Henry, just let me know. If you mean Henry II, then it was Thomas Becket

he ordered all the priests to close churches in england for 7 years. people where upset because there where no proper christian burials or weddings this made john very unpopular

sorry is it doesnt make sense my brain hurts from writing an essay about king john :)

To control the church courts

Archbishop added a few catholic touches to the Protestant Church.

This included decorating the church- Protestants only liked plain churches . The Protestants reacted badly to this change though

Bishops were the leaders of the church. The leader of the bishops, of course, was the pope. Bishops were often very wealthy. They dressed lavishly, wearing many of the same clothes as a feudal lord. Of course, they had their own religious garments to wear also. Bishops often had their own castles from which to conduct buisness. In this way, they were firmly entrenched in the feudal society. They were accepted in royal courts and dallied in politics. They also had many duties. They levied taxes and settled on issues such as annulments of marriages.

As Archbishop of Canterbury from 1162, Thomas Becket excommunicated the archbishop of York and two other bishops in November 1170. The excommunication of the bishops by Becket was his response to the coronation, in June 1170 by the archbishop of York, of the young son of Henry II who was a token co-regent until his father's death in 1183. Becket had been in exile for earlier oppositions to the king, and this brought matters to a head. In Becket's eyes crowning the king was a Canterbury privilege. He agreed terms with Henry and returned to England with the intention of punishing those who had infringed that privilege. When the excommunicated bishops complained to the king, then in Normandy, Henry II's angry words prompted four knights to cross the Channel and kill Becket in his own cathedral on 29 December 1170, a murder that shocked Christendom. Little more than two years later, in February 1173, he was canonized by Alexander III.

it is, Thomas Cranmer, who was made archbishop by, King Edward VI, with the help of Nicholas Ridley and preacher Hugh Latimer, Cranmer lead England in more drastic Reformation.

Great Puritan Migration

His name was William Laud. As Archbishop of Canterbury he was considered High Church or an Anglo-Catholic. This combined with his opposition of radical Puritanism and support for Charles I sealed his fate and he was condemned as a traitor by the Long Parliament. He was executed on 10 January 1645.

The Archbishoo of Canturbury has a bishop's palace (not as grand as it sounds - but all bishops live in 'palaces' some of which are just large houses). This is located in Canterbury,. However he also has an official residence in Lambeth Palace, London, which is situated on the opposite side of the river from the House of Parliament at the far end of Lambeth bridge, right on the banks of the Thames. All the other archbishops (of the other provinces such as York, Wales, Canada, etc) live in a palace usually in the cathedral city and near the cathedral where he holds the chair as bishop.

Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Becket, was murdered on the 29th December, 1170.

Henry II had supposedly lost his temper and yelled something along the lines of "who will rid me of this troublesome priest" (the exact words were lost in history). Four knights overheard this and 'misunderstood', so, they then went to Canterbury Cathedral and killed him.

It was on the 3rd blow from the sword that he fell, and on the 4th they lopped of his head and his 'brains spilled out' (nasty stuff, isn't it?) according to Edward Grim, best friend and clerk. Grim also got hurt in the attack, when one of the knights hit Becket the second time, it missed and hit Grim in the shoulder.

As far as I know (I've done a bit of research) not a lot is known about the funeral.

Hope this helps!

Henry chose Becket as archbishop because he was his friend and he did not like the way that they didn't get punished. because Becket was his friend he thought that he could change the church rules but he was wrong. Becket him self changed himself and he was determined to be a really good archbishop.

1 Timothy 3:1 - This is a faithful saying: If a man desires the position of a bishop, he desires a good work. Paul goes on to stipulate that they must be "the husband of one wife" (v.2), and have "children in submission" (v.4).

All bishops are important because they are successors to the Apostles, and have the fullness of Christ's priesthood. Archbishops are just bishops of Archdioceses, he is also styled a "metropolitan".

The popes are the successors of Saint Peter, who was given special authority by Jesus to lead the Church.

As God's chosen representatives the apostles were to be listened to (2 Corinthians 5:20). They did not receive their commission from the Church; they received it from the Lord. The apostles were "God's co-workers" ( 1 Corinthians 3:9). They baptized of the bread, and laid their hands on others in conferring the Holy Spirit and calling others to ministry. They forgave sins in God's name; and with the fullness of Christ's power, they even worked miracles (Acts 2:43).

The crozier is the staff used by a bishop.

Bishops are seen to wear two things on their head, depending on which one you are referring:

The "pointed hat" worn by bishops in the Catholic Church is properly known as a "mitre" or "miter". This is a symbol of their office as princes of the Catholics Church. Bishops wear mitres while conducting ceremonies or while attending formal Church functions, such as a Church Council.

The flat saucer-type skullcap - usually purple in colour for a bishop - resting on a bishop's head even when they are not in a ceremony or an official function is called a zucchetto (plural: zucchetti)
