中古時(shí)期英國(guó)18歌詞

It all came to a head here at Clarendon, early in 1164, when Henry summoned a special council of the princes of the Church and the most important nobles of the realm. There he asked, well, actually, he demanded that they assent unconditionally to what he chose to call the "customs of the realm." Becket was no idiot. He knew exactly what this meant, royal control over the clergy. He'd seen it coming for months and had been urging his bishops to resist it at all costs. After endless prevarication, in the end Becket refused the King's demands, ordering total resistance, a position from which he'd never budge. The King now moved the way he liked best, through the law. In October, 1164, Becket was brought to trial at Northampton, accused and this was the killer, of improper use of funds when he'd been Chancellor. So all those half-joking comments about fancy clothes that Henry had thrown Becket's way now stopped being funny. They'd become a deadly criminal accusation.
1164年初，事態(tài)在克拉登宮受到激化，亨利召開了一次特殊議會(huì)由教會(huì)領(lǐng)袖和國(guó)內(nèi)位高權(quán)重的貴族組成。他要求，實(shí)際上是命令他們無(wú)條件地贊同。他所謂的"王國(guó)慣例"[《普通法》]，這次會(huì)議上，全體貴族通過(guò)了一個(gè)《克拉倫登憲章》。貝克特并非愚昧之人，他對(duì)其中深意一清二楚。王室想要控制神職人員，他早在數(shù)月前就已預(yù)料到，并一直要求手下的主教們不惜一切反對(duì)。經(jīng)過(guò)無(wú)窮無(wú)盡的推諉拖延，最終，貝克特拒絕了國(guó)王的命令，并下令全面抵抗。他絕對(duì)不會(huì)妥協(xié)，而這次國(guó)王利用他最鐘愛的法律方式解決。1164年10月，貝克特在北安普頓接受審判。他受到了致命的指控，稱他作為大法官曾不當(dāng)挪用資金。因此，那些亨利對(duì)于貝克特的華服，半開玩笑的評(píng)論也都已不再好笑，而變成了致命的指控。
