The Compromise of Avranches in 1172 marked the reconciliation of Henry II of England with the Catholic Church after the Becket controversy from 1163, which culminated with the murder in 1170 of Thomas Becket. [1] Henry was purged of any guilt in Becket's murder, and swore to go on crusade.
In July 1170, Becket and the king were reconciled and the king agreed that the archiepiscopal estates would be returned to Becket's control. But difficulties dragged on and Becket accused de Broc of stripping the estates of the recent harvest and storing it away from the archbishop's control. [8]
14th-century depiction of King Henry II of England with Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Becket "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?"
