Besides these and such like injunctions, it was also set forth by the Kings proclamation.1 An. 1166. that all manner of persons (both men and women, who soever were found of the kindred of Thomas Becket) should be exiled without taking any part of their goods with them and sent to him,2 where he was: which was no little vexation to Becket to behold them. Moreover, for so much as he then was lying with Gwarine Abbot of Pontiniacke (to whom the pope as is aforesaid had commended him) therefore the king writing to the same Abbot, required him not to retain the Archbishop of Canterbury in his house:3 for if he did, he would drive out of his realm, all the monks of his order. Whereupon Becket was enforced to remove from thence, and went to Lewes the French King, by whom he was placed at Senon, and there found of him the space of five years, as is above mentioned.
