	Constitutions of Clarendon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Constitutions of Clarendon were a set of legislative procedures passed by Henry II of England in 1164.
		The Constitutions of Clarendon were Henry II's attempts to rein in the problem by claiming that once the ecclesiastical courts had tried and defrocked clergymen, the Church could no longer protect the individual, and convicted former clergy could be further punished under the jurisdiction of royal courts.
		The Constitutions of Clarendon were a part of Henry II's larger expansion of royal jurisdiction into the Church and civil law, the defining aspect of his reign.

	The Constitutions of Clarendon
		The Constitutions of Clarendon represent an attempt by Henry II to exert state control over the Church in England.
		The Constitutions were composed of 16 articles, which laid out the extent of papal influence in the realm and the degree to which church members were subservient to the crown and English legal custom.
		And because of discensions and discords which had arisen between the clergy and the lord king's justices and the barons of the kingdom concerning the customs and dignities, this recognition has been made before the archbishops and bishops and clergy, and the earls and barons and great men of the kingdom.

		The Constitutions of Clarendon were, from top to bottom, an extreme challenge to the authority and the autonomy of the Church in England.
		One of the most contentious issues was the punishment of the criminal clergy, which the Constitutions of Clarendon arrogated ultimately to the royal courts rather than giving the final say to the ecclesiastical courts.
		Thomas at first agreed to the Constitutions of Clarendon but later recanted, resulting in a six- year period of exile and the confiscation of all his revenues and those of his property.

		The general idea of the answer has been, and still is in many quarters, to assign Thomas Becket to that large elysium for historical figures who by their death have won the victory for which they struggled in life.
		Those scholars, however, how have studied closely how some of the isues raised in the Constitutions of Clarendon (1164) worked themselves out in practice after Becket's martyrdom, have shown that things were not so simple (Cheney, 1941, 177-97; Gray, 1952).
		In the day-to-day relations of the secular and ecclesiastical courts compromise and co-operation is constantly evident, and the developing complexity of legal problems and procedures favoured now one jurisdiction, now the other (Cheney, 1956).

		In 1164, Henry II went so far as to codify his laws in the Constitutions of Clarendon, which ordered that priests be tried in the secular courts.
		The public outcry was so great that Henry had to rescind the Constitutions of Clarendon, and do penance for the murder of the martyred archbishop (Becket was later canonized by the Church).
		Though he couldn't subject the Church to his will with the Constitutions of Clarendon, his judicial reforms were far-reaching and lasting.

		Henry called another assembly at Clarendon for January 30, 1164, at which he presented his demands in sixteen constitutions.
		What he asked involved the abandonment of the clergy's independence and of their direct connection with Rome; he employed all his arts to induce their consent and was apparently successful with all but the primate.
		Henry endeavoured to rid himself of his antagonist by judicial process and summoned him to appear before a great council at Northampton on October 8, 1164, to answer charges of contempt of royal authority and malfeasance in the Lord Chancellor's office.

		He had not, however, abandoned his ultimate objective of having the Constitutions recognised, with all that entailed in terms of preserving, in his view, or expanding, in Becket's view, the authority of the monarchy.
		It is not credible, further, that Henry agreed to Becket asserting an ecclesiastical disciplinary authority of a character inconsistent with the Constitutions of Clarendon.
		After all the care that had been taken to omit any reference to the Constitutions or the customs in the settlement discussions, the first thing Becket had done on his return was to flagrantly breach an indisputable, longstanding custom of the realm.
