Yeahh, I really dislike how powerful the church is always portrayed... like yeah they have alot of influence and they can suggest things to a king, but they don't have the actual power to disobey the king. Henry the 8th proved that, 'won't give me a divorce?... here's a shiny new church backed by the king'"Heavily punished"?
lol, those guys needs to be beheaded, and have all their heads displayed on the town square to serve as a warning, because they kidnapped + trying to kill a royal guest, which literally an act of treason against the king.
Eh, better to keep them alive just so they might provide more information/proof once they crack (be that isolated cells, or from not being allowed to sleep, or finding their family - just ensure that they are all kept separated so they can't collude, and guarded by people you are certain won't help cover the perpetrators asses). If you want to have them serve as a warning, you could always do that later, or pick a few to do so early with."Heavily punished"?

Either way, unless you are actively using their family as a tool in interrogation, you should chop their heads and display as warning, or you will have people do those things to "protect their family" when someone powerful kidnaps them (make it so the only way to save your family is to seek the protection of the state, or at least there's no benefit in performing high-treason when your family is threatened as they die either way.).
Sounded more like they had a suspicion, maybe even confessions, but lacked corrupt guards coughing up any evidence for them (or they could've put full blast on the archbishop, no matter how influential he is). Hence why it would be worthwhile to see if you could make someone cough up such evidence.They already know who's the main culprit are, and letting those so-called "Palace Guards" live is nothing more than a waste of resources, because they already shown that they're not loyal to their king, which literally the person that they supposed to obey and serve.
Hell, even their families can also be punished, because in many cases of treason, their whole family is also executed, or at the very least gets banished from the country they live in, since they also have a tendency to do the same.
Better to get rid of them all, and make an example for the others that the act of treason is a really bad thing to do.
They already knew that he is the guest of the king. That exactly why they captured him, because they are ordered to do so by the archbishop, they are a corrupt authoritiesI guess it took this dude 4 days to wake up too since if he was just awake thrn he would be able to instantly say ourbguy was a Guest of the king and not then having him sit 4 days in jail. Like lmao
