This paper focuses on discussions of Christian kingship in 1163, a critical year in the relationship between King Henry II of England and Thomas Becket, archbishop of Canterbury. On the basis of the revised Lives of Anselm (by John of Salisbury) and Edward the Confessor (by Aelred of Rievaulx), it is clear that traditional views of a symbiotic relationship were still very much to the fore, even though the quarrel between king and archbishop was to lead ultimately to a clearer separation of secular and ecclesiastical jurisdictions.
