	History of England, Medieval Britain
		There was hardly any indication that the relationship of Church and State would be completely changed upon Becket's appointment as Archbishop of Canterbury upon Theodore's death in 1161, a position in which he now displayed the same enthusiasm and energy as before, but now sworn to uphold ecclesiastical prestige against any royal encroachments.
		Resigning the chancellorship, he began in earnest to work solely in the interests of the Church, opposing the king even on insignificant, trivial matters, but especially over Henry's proposal that people in holy orders found guilty of criminal offences should be handed over to the secular authorities for punishment.
		For posterity, however, the two most important clauses were 39, which states that no one should be imprisoned without trial and 40, which states that no one could buy or deny justice.

		In AD 350, Britain was part of the Roman Empire, a diocese on the far northwestern fringes and part of the Prefecture of Gaul.
		The considerable changes observed in material culture in fifth- and sixth-century lowland Britain are seen as the result of an increasing Germanisation of taste among the native population as much as the migration of substantial numbers of people from north Germany.
		The creation of the English states in the post-Roman period is associated with massive cultural change involving objects that appear to be ethnospecific (north German pottery and metalwork styles, changes to settlement types and so on).
