it is interesting that in the play "Becket", while King Henry was condemned for his role in the murder, Becket is shown as stubborn and intrusive.

It is also interesting to contrast another play about a different St. Thomas (More) and Robert Bolt's interpretation of a very similar situtation. Saw the play and the movie was surprisingly good, but with a cast like this, it shouldn't have been surprising. They did misspell his name, though.

Yes, that is true. King Henry II was just as subborn. There are questions of course as to if King Henry II (my 26th great grandfather) actually had Beckett Killed. It is a great story of history though.
