The situation between Henry and Becket did not work out the way the King had hoped. After a few years as Archbishop, Becket seemed to change. He did not support Henry against the Pope. He seemed to become much more religious than he had once been (although some historians believe this was an act). Becket got into many arguments with Henry. They argued about how much power church courts should have. They disagreed on many other issues. Becket seemed to go out of his way to annoy Henry and Henry got so angry that Becket felt he had to escape to France.

The illustration is from a manuscript called 'Chronicle of England' by Peter of Langtoft, probably written about 1307-1327.
