Thomas, due to his friendship with King Henry II, was appointed Archbishop of Canterbury in 1162. However, they disagreed about the powers of the Church and the King, and which was more so. Thomas regularly clashed with Henry over such matters, and their friendship turned to rivalry, leading to Thomas's assassination in 1170 due to a misunderstanding between Henry and his men.
