King Henry the second K. of England convening his Nobles & Clerks required to have punishment of certain misorders of the clergy, but the Archbishop Thomas Becket would not agree thereunto: the King came to this point to know whether he & the rest of the Clergy would consent to the customs set forth in Henry the fifth his time, he with the rest of the Bishops, upon consultation held, they would consent with this exception, Salvo ordine suo, so all other Bishops being particularly demanded, except Christopher, who seeing the King angry, said, for Salvo ordine suo, he would bona fide, the King told them he was not well content with that exception which was captious and deceitful, having some venom lurking under, therefore required an absolute grant: they answered, they would not bind themselves in no other manner, at which the King and all the Nobility were not a little moved: the King, when he could get no other answer, departed with great anger, not saluting the Bishops: Chester was greatly rebuked of his fellows for changing the exception; the next day the King took from the Archbishop all such Manors and Honours as he had given him before being Lord Chancellor; not long after unknown to the Bishops he sailed into Normandy; not long after the Bishop of London followed after him to crave his favour, and gave him counsel to join some of the Bishops with him, least if all were against him, he might the sooner be overthrown: thus by his means the greatest number of the Bishops were reconciled unto the King, only the Archbishop with a few other remained in their stoutness: when the King saw no fear or threats could turn him, he assayed him with gentleness but it would not serve, though many Nobles laboured to exhort him to relent unto the King: Likewise the Arch-bishop of York, with divers other Clergy men, Bishops and Abbots, especially Chester did the same: besides his own house daily called upon him, no man could persuade him; at length understanding what danger might happen by the Kings displeasure, not only to himself but to all the Clergy, and considering the old kindness and love of the King towards him in times past, was content to give over unto the Kings request, came to the King at Oxford, and reconciled himself:
