 Henry II of England - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Following a heated exchange at Henry's court, Becket left England in 1164 for France to solicit in person the support of Pope Alexander III, who was in exile in France due to dissention in the college of Cardinals, and of King Louis VII of France.
Henry's illegitimate son Geoffrey, Archbishop of York also stood by him the whole time and alone among his sons attended on Henry's deathbed.
Almost simultaneously he began negotiating the annulment of his marriage and marry Alys, daughter of King Louis VII of France and already betrothed to Henry's son Richard.

 [No title]
Henry maintained at a council held in October 1163 that these "criminous clerks" should be unfrocked and tried in a lay court.
Henry now presented Becket with a series of terms, known as the Constitutions of Clarendon, which was where the council was held in January 1164.
Henry's short temper did not allow this to last for long and matters came to a head over the issue of clergy who broke the law.

 Henry (II)
Although he failed to subject the church to his courts, Henry's judicial reforms were of lasting significance.
A succession of rebellions against Henry, headed by his sons and furthered by Philip II and by Eleanor of Aquitaine, began in 1173 and continued until his death at Chinon, France, on July 6, 1189.
In 1153 Henry defeated Stephen's armies in England and compelled the king to choose him as his successor; on Stephen's death, the following year, Henry became king.

 Britannia: Monarchs of Britain
Henry was raised in the French province of Anjou and first visited England in 1142 to defend his mother's claim to the disputed throne of Stephen.
His continental possessions were already vast before his coronation: He acquired Normandy and Anjou upon the death of his father in September 1151, and his French holdings more than doubled with his marriage to Eleanor of Aquitane (ex-wife of King Louis VII of France).
Henry also extended his territory in the British Isles in two significant ways.

 Henry II
Henry agreed to drop his plans to have criminal clerics tried in his courts.
Henry also fought in France, and with his father managed to capture Normandy from Stephen.
Although Henry admitted that his comments had led to the death of Becket, he argued that he had neither commanded nor wished the man's death.

 Henry II
They were married in 1152 and had eight children together, though the marriage was categorized by years of strife and Henry eventually imprisoned his wife for fifteen years to keep her under his control.
As W.L. Warren characterizes Henry's approach to his lands, Henry wanted to employ a federal system that would leave him at its head, but would rule each of his territories as separate entities with their own governments.
As a result of Henry's actions, the English Common Law emerged and its consolidation would serve the judges and people of England far into the future.

 Henry II
Henry’s most significant achievement lay in his development of the structure of royal justice.
He recovered (1157) the northern counties of England from Scotland and undertook (1171—72) an expedition to Ireland, but he was less successful in his attempts (1157 and 1165) to extend his authority in Wales.
Henry’s vast Continental domains (he ruled about half the area of present-day France) were to occupy him for much of his reign, but his first objective was to restore order and royal authority to an England ravaged by civil war.

 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Henry II (King of England)
On the other hand, after Henry by his penance had owned himself beaten upon the question of the Church Courts, his legal and constitutional reforms (such as those which developed the germs of trial by jury, the circuits of the travelling justices, etc.) were pushed on more actively than ever.
King of England, born 1133; died 6 July, 1189; was in his earlier life commonly known as Henry Fitz-Empress from the fact that his mother Matilda, daughter of Henry I, was first married to the Emperor Henry V.
Moreover, it is in these last years of Henry's life that we find the most attractive presentment of his character in his relations with the Carthusian, St. Hugh of Lincoln, a saint whom the king himself had promoted to his bishopric.
