Who was responsible for the murder of thomas Beckett?
Many people were responsible for the murder of thomas beckett. you can't blame the knights because they were just cowardly enough to do it and not to question this "decision". the two main suspects were the king and thomas beckett himself. thomas beckett refused to listen to henry at all, so henry felt put out. beckett also decided to not listen to henry about "worshiping" him in a way.beckett only listened to god and the people that had strong beliefs that were to him right. But Henry was to blame as well because he just couldn't stand being ignored - he was an attention seeker. But he still had right to talk to beckett about his behaviour around this situation. Beckett just carried on to do things which were anoying Henry and it just built up into layers and layers of annoyance to Henry. So no wonder he popped, and wanted to get rid of Beckett. But overall I don't think that he meant all of this to turn into a murder. The person that was responsible for Becketts death was Beckett himself.
What was the argument between becket and Henry?
well the argument between them was about Henry making thomas becket the archbishop of cantubury and Henry thought that if thomas was made archbishop then thomas would follow all of henrrys rules and would help Henry by taking money from the poor and making himself even richer but what he didnt no was that when he made thomas archbishop he would betray him and when thomas did become archbishop of Canterbury he decided to help his people not his king .Henry then got really mad with thomas and said "will there be no rid of this troublesome priest?" and that's when four knights overheard him and decided to get rid of him once and for all and that is how becket died
