After Henry 2nd had killed Tomas Becket he was terrified he would go to hell. When he killed Thomas, he ran straight to the Pope himself begging him to release his sin. The Pope, after a day of thought, told him to go to the same cathedral and let 80 monkswhip him as he walked barefooted through and around the cathedral.
Answer: They were very good friends, in fact, Thomas Beckett was Henry II's only friend. Until Henry II's got fed up with the Saxon king and two knights thought that they would be helping if they killed Thomas Beckett. The knights did that exact thing and killed him. Unfortunately the king wasn't very happy after that.

Probably not. Henry II clearly regretted the death of Becket. He was very angry at Becket at the time of Becket's death, but he was also very ill, and we have no precise record of what he said about Becket at the time.
Thomas Becket expelled the Barons, Bishops and Archbishop of York, because he was furious with them for supporting the King while he was hiding from Henry II. See the related link below.

Thomas Beckett has ties to King Henry II. Perhaps you are asking about Harry Beck who in 1931 developed the style of tube map we use today
Actually, King Henry II did not order the execution or assassination of Thomas a' Beckett. Henry was known to have a horrible temper, and in haste shouted aloud in the presence of his knights "Who will rid me of this troublesome Priest". Four of King Henry II's Knights took his words to mean he wanted Thomas killed; he actually did not literally want anyone to kill Thomas. ---- he didnt agree about the pope
it was because he had apparently killed Thomas Beckett and the pope thought he should pay for his sins
There was not a lot that Henry did right although when Thomas Beckett died he felt so sorry he walked around the cathedral till his feet had blisters on then prayed while monks whipped him and then lay where Thomas died and slept there all night on the stone floor!
Thomas Beckett, or Thomas of London, promised to follow the constitution. He was appointed chancellor, and then changed his ways and no longer followed the constitution.
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?"
Thomas Beckett was an Archbishop of Canterbury. He died because of a conflict between him and Henry II due to the Constitutions of Clarendon. It caused a quarrel because King Henry II's effort was to bring the power away from the church courts and to the royal courts. Four knights killed him in front of the main altar of Canterbury Cathedral. In 1173, the church named him a saint. Yet interestingly still, the Constitutions of Clarendon stood. Have a nice day!
Henry II King of England, Duke of Normandy and Aquitaine, Count of Anjou.
Thomas Beckett was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury in 1162 and was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral on December 29th 1170.
