Church; Theobald, while showing a preference for Stephen's See also:title, made it his See also:rule to support the de facto See also:sovereign. But as Stephen's cause gained ground the archbishop showed greater See also:independence. He refused to consecrate the king's See also:nephew to the see of See also:York, and in 1148 attended the papal See also:council of See also:Reims in See also:defiance of a royal See also:prohibition. This See also:quarrel was ended by the intercession of the See also:queen, Matilda of See also:Boulogne, but another, of a more serious character, was provoked by Theobald's refusal to See also:crown See also:Count Eustace, the eldest son of Stephen, the archbishop See also:pleading the See also:pope's orders as the excuse for this See also:contumacy. He was banished from the See also:kingdom, but Pope See also:Eugenius terrified Stephen into a reversal of the See also:sentence. In 1153 Theobald succeeded in reconciling Stephen with Henry of See also:Anjou, and in securing for the latter the See also:succession to the See also:throne. On the See also:accession of Henry in 1154, Theobald naturally became his trusted counsellor; but See also:ill-See also:health prevented the archbishop from using his See also:influence to its full extent. He placed the interests of the Church in the hands of See also:- THOMAS

Thomas See also:Becket, his See also:archdeacon, whom he induced Henry to employ as See also:chancellor. Theobald died on the 18th of See also:April 1.161. He is said to have recommended Becket as his successor.
In See also:history Theobald lives chiefly as the See also:patron of three eminent men: Becket, who began life as a clerk in his See also:house-hold; See also:Master See also:Vacarius, the See also:Italian jurist, who was the first to See also:teach See also:Roman See also:law in England; and See also:John of See also:Salisbury, the most learned See also:scholar of the See also:age. Theobald's See also:household was a university in little; and in it were trained not a few of the leading prelates of the next See also:generation.
