How is Canterbury cathedral related to the story of Thomas a Becket ?

English

olchik [2.2K]3 years ago
4 0

The Canterbury Cathedral is related to Thomas a Becket because Becket was murdered there. Henry II made Becket his chancellor and the two became close friends. When the position of Archbishop became vacant, Henry II made Thomas a Becket the Archbishop of Canterbury.

Henry II wanted to reduce the power of the Church and established the Constitutions of Clarendon which allowed the King to punish a cleric found guilty by the Church. Becket refused to sign the Constitutions of Clarendon and was found guilty of treason. He fled to France and was only allowed to return when the Pope threatened to excommunicate Henry II. Upon his return, Becket excommunicated three bishops who supported Henry. This enraged Henry and he ordered his knights to kill Becket. 

On December 29, 1170, Becket was murdered at the altar of Canterbury Cathedral by four knights of King Henry II.

Read the excerpt about the bombing of Pearl Harbor during World War II. Which two descriptions tell what type of source it is?
olga2289 [7]

The correct answers are A. Primary source and E. Diary entry

Explanation:

In general terms, sources can be classified as primary if they are first-account of an event, which means they were written during the event or shortly after it by someone who experienced or witness the event or as secondary sources if they summarize or analyze a primary source. This means in the source presented in which someone describes the way he or she experienced the bombing of Pearl Harbor this source can be classified as a Primary Source.

On the other hand, sources can be classified according to the type of source they are which includes recordings, photographs, articles, diary entry, etc. In the case of diary entry, these are personal texts people write about their experiences, feelings, and thoughts and because of this they are usually written using the pronoun "I", this is also the case of the source presented as the Pearl Habor attack is being described using "I" and including the perceptions, feelings, and actions of its author. Therefore, the two descriptions that fit with this source are primary source and diary entry.
