Henry II and Thomas a Becket.
Henry II and Thomas a Becket. Henry (1133-1189) became King of England in 1154. Here he is disputing with Thomas a Becket (1118-1170), Archbishop of Canterbury. The two men clashed almost incessantly over the question of the independence of the Church from the authority of the state. The mailed figures represent the four knights who murdered Becket in Canterbury Cathedral on 29 December 1170.
