Pregunta:

Henry II

Autor: Nadia S



Respuesta:

Henry II was a significant figure in the medieval ages, known for his reforms and contributions to the legal system. He was born in 1133 and became King of England in 1154. Henry II is often credited with establishing the common law system, which allowed for a more unified legal code throughout England. One of Henry II's most notable accomplishments was his creation of the jury system. This allowed for a group of citizens to determine guilt or innocence in criminal cases, rather than relying solely on the judgment of one person. Additionally, he established circuit courts that traveled throughout England to hear cases and ensure justice was being served. Henry II also had a tumultuous relationship with the Church, particularly with Archbishop Thomas Becket. After Becket's murder in 1170, Henry II faced backlash from both his subjects and other European leaders.
