Answer:

Henry II was a strong king In 1164 he introduced the Constitutions of Clarendon, a code of 16 rules designed to increase the king's influence over the bishops and the Church courts. Henry demanded that, if the Church courts found a cleric guilty, they had to hand him over to the king's court to be punished properly.
