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

English

olchik [2.2K]3 years ago

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.

lakkis [162]

Answer:

The best kind of content to use in this case is:

B. Sequencing.

Explanation:

This is not just an article, but an article in which you teach your favorite recipe. One of the most important things when it comes to a recipe is teaching the right sequence of steps. If one does not follow the sequence correctly, the result will certainly be a disaster. Therefore, you should choose sequencing as the type of content that would be helpful to you in this case. It will allow you to establish an order for your article that will coincide with the preparation of the ingredients and the cooking.
