The friendship of Thomas Becket and King Henry could be described as strange and
             confusing. When Becket served under King Henry as Chancellor their friendship was close
             and caring. They were in separable partners. Henry let Becket make important decisions
             and speak for him because he was a very witty person. In my opinion, King Henry and
             Thomas Becket's friendship deteriorated when the King promoted Becket Arch Bishop of

             each other began to fall apart. Becket begins putting God's power over the power of the
             King which made Henry absolutely enraged. The King then told Becket, "I loved you and
             you did not love me back." Becket is starting to do exactly what Henry hoped he wouldn't
