Becket sent to the Pope, complaining of four Bishops, especially the Archbishop of York, who durst be so bold in his absence, without his licence to crown the king, being a matter peculiar to his Jurisdiction, at whose instance the Pope excommunicated the Bishop of London: the other three with the Archbishop he suspended: they resorted to the King, declaring how miserable there case stood, for fulfilling his commandment, the King was highly moved.

The King of France with his Clergy and Courtiers slacked no occasion to incite the Pope to excommunicate the King of England, also thinking to have some advantage against the Realm, neither was the King ignorant of this, which made him the readier to agree.

The pope sent two Legates with full commission, either to drive the K. to be reconciled, or to be excommunicated: the King seeing himself in great straits, which he could not avoid, and by the mediation of the king of France, and other great prelates and Princes of the king, was content to be reconciled with the Archb. whom he received into his Realm, and granted him free return to his Church.
