 Roger 's and his fellow @-@ bishops ' stories to Henry are often cited as the spark that touched off the king 's anger at Becket and led to his martyrdom . However , it was more probably the stories of Becket 's behaviour upon arrival in England that caused Henry 's anger , and which indirectly led to the death of Becket . Roger was suspended by Pope Alexander III because he was implicated in Becket 's death , but was restored to office on 16 December 1171 .
