Thomas Beckett Vs. HenryII
A. The Development of Common Law
1) destruction of unauthorized castles to restore order
2) changes in the trial system
- frankpledge strengthened
- presentment jury > to accuse
- guilt was determined by battle or ordeal
3) for questions related to land ownership
- use of write, such as
>a writ to establish ownership
- to avoid the need for combat
> the writ of right
> the writ of peace
4) the courts
- popularity of the King's courts led to the dissolution of feudal
courts:
The King's Court
Small Courts
Westminster Court
Exchequer Courts
Itinerant Judges
5) Common Law
- from these courts emerged one common law based on previous
judgments for al of England
B. Henry II and the Church
1) Henry II's goal was to restore to the state powers over the Church
lost during Stephen's reign
2) this brought him into conflict with Thomas Becket, his friend
and the Archbishop of Canterbury
3) the Issue
- question of the king's right to punish clergymen found guilty of
a crime
- Constitution of Clarendon
> extended the King's power over the ecclesiastical court and limited
the right of the Pope to excommunicate an English vassal
without the King's consent
4) the Conflict
- when Becket withdrew his support of the Clarendon Constitution
as requested by the Pope, Henry became enraged and summoned
Becket to stand trial on trumped up charges stemming from a
previous position
- Becket fled to France where he remained for six years
5) the Death of Becket
- a new quarrel arose when Henry had his son crowned by the
Archbishop of York and several bishops, a right reserved for
the Archbishop of Canterbury
- Beckett sought the excommunication of those who took part in
the ceremony
- to fend this off, Henry II reconciled with Becket and Becket
returned to England
- Beckett then went ahead with the excommunication
- Henry II responded, "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"
6) the Outcome
- Becket was canonized and a cult developed around the saint
- the Pope charged Henry II with many penances
- Henry only retained the right to consent to an excommunication
of his barons and the right to control the election of bishops
and abbots
House of Plantagenet (1138-1399), which included Henry II, who battled with Thomas Beckett over the powers of Church vs. State. Beckett excommunicated the king's supporters, and was later murdered by four of the king's knights in Canterbury Cathedral in 1170. Richard the Lionhearted was also part of this House...
