Bishops

Laud was imprisoned because he and Charles I tried to introduce the New English Prayer Book to Presbytarian Scotland. This was rebuked and the Scots rioted. A rebellion arose. Charles couldn't stop the rebellion so in the end he asked Parliament to grant him money. He had ignored them for the past eleven years, see Eleven Year's Tyranny, and MPs were angry. They would only give him the money on certain terms : Strafford executed, Laud sent to the Tower etc. Parliament didn't like Laud because he believed in the Higher Church. The puritan MPs thought this was popish and ungodly. These terms were presented in the Long Parliament.

Daniel Mannix (4 March 1864 - 6 November 1963) was an Irish-born bishop of Melbourne, Australia for 46 years, and one of the most influential public figures in 20th-century Australia. See link below for details.

Thomas Becket

Archbishop Alexy Bondarenko was born on August 6, 1967.

Not just one painting - the archbishop had seen several of her works.

Following scurrilous hounding together with calumny and detraction by a so-called Christian 'minister of religion', he has quite rightly retired into private life.

; : A suffragan bishop is a bishop subordinate to a Metropolitan. In the Roman Catholic Church this term is applied to all non-metropolitan bishops (that is, diocesan bishops of dioceses within a metropolitan's province, and auxiliary bishops). In the Anglican Communion, the term applies to a bishop who is a full-time assistant to a diocesan bishop: the Bishop of Warwick is suffragan to the Bishop of Coventry (the diocesan), though both live in Coventry. Some Anglican suffragans are given the responsibility for a geographical area within the diocese (for example, the Bishop of Stepney is an area bishop within the Diocese of London)

Arrested them, and had their ears cut off. He branded their cheeks.

He lived in England, was born in London, and was the Archbishop of Canterbury.

The bishop of Rome is the pope. Currently pope Francis is the bishop of rome

Yes, the Church was very powerful during the Middle Ages.

After the murder of Thomas Becket the Archbishopric remained vacant for two years. The king wanted to install his own candidate (the bishop of Meaux), but the monks insisted on holding a free and fair election.

The monks chose Robert, the abbot of Bec in Normandy, but he was too nervous to accept the position of archbishop. The murder of Becket continued to have an impact for some time . . .

The monks held another election and this time Richard, Prior of Dover was selected. This choice was not supported by the king, who appealed against the decision (he still thought he should have full control over Church matters). Despite this, Richard was made archbishop of Canterbury in 1174 and he remained so until his death in 1184.

He who is brave is free (hammer design with banner says) veritas truth is my hammer

Henry II and Thomas Becket fell out. (IDK what that means, but it was on a historical paper...)

According to St. Paul and other writers of the New Testaments, a bishop was to oversee and guide his flock or congregation. He needs to be a servant of the gospel and above reproach.

He was a son, man, grand son and saint.

In Thomas Beckett's absence (he and the king were quarreling), Henry II had the Archbishop of York perform the pre-coronation of his heir, Henry (who died before his father). This was normally the job of the Archbishop of Canterbury, Beckett, and he was furious when he returned. Rather than letting bygones be bygones, Beckett excommunicated The Archbishop of York and threatened an interdict on England. Here is where Henry supposedly delivered his famous line, "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"

if you are doing the Telegraph crossword, the big clue is that the "E" is incorrect :-)

It begins with an A and the answer is Apostolate...

Archbishop Cranmer annulled the marriage between Henry and Katherine Howard

The final thing that happened to him was being burned at the stake.....

it was because Thomas Becket an Henry II had an argument( not sure when) and Henry II then decided that he had enough and mad the Archbishop of York do the honour when actually it was supposed to be Thomas Becket (the Archbishop of Canterbury's) job.
