I would appreciate suggestions on an answer to this question:
What did Henry II do that solidified his power as king but led to economic problems and help incite conflict with the church?

Executed all Bishops who were opposed to his rule.

Gave enormous financial gifts to the nobility to gain their support in his conflict with the church.

Built and rebuilt castles throughout the land.

Bribed corrupt Bishops to gain their support and divide the church.

All of the above.

Thank you so much!

A) does not seem to make sense, as he never executed all bishops who opposed his rule.
C) He did do this, but how is this related to his conflict with the church?
I suppose that my question is this: Did Henry II bribe his nobility or corrupt bishops?
