Define the primacy dispute.

It was the long quarrel over whether the archbishop of York owed obedience and a written profession to Canterbury as primate of the whole English Church.

Why did the Crown generally take Canterbury's side in the primacy dispute?

A single obedient primate made the whole English Church easier to manage through one man, and it discouraged a northern archbishop from becoming a focus for separatist or Scottish influence.

What administrative change did William I make to Church jurisdiction in the early 1070s?

He ordered ecclesiastical pleas to be removed from the hundred courts and heard separately by the bishop, which created a distinct system of Church courts in England.

Questions from this subtopic

Each one with the model answer underneath.

1
How was the English Church divided at the highest level?
Model answer
Into two provinces, Canterbury in the south and York in the north, each headed by an archbishop.
2
Define the primacy dispute.
Model answer
It was the long quarrel over whether the archbishop of York owed obedience and a written profession to Canterbury as primate of the whole English Church.
3
How was the primacy question first settled under William I?
Model answer
At the councils of 1072 Lanfranc secured an acknowledgement from Thomas of Bayeux that York was subject to Canterbury, though successive archbishops of York reopened the argument.
4
Why did the Crown generally take Canterbury's side in the primacy dispute?
Model answer
A single obedient primate made the whole English Church easier to manage through one man, and it discouraged a northern archbishop from becoming a focus for separatist or Scottish influence.
5
What administrative change did William I make to Church jurisdiction in the early 1070s?
Model answer
He ordered ecclesiastical pleas to be removed from the hundred courts and heard separately by the bishop, which created a distinct system of Church courts in England.
6
List the kinds of case that fell to the Church courts.
Model answer
Marriage and legitimacy, wills and testaments, tithes and the property of churches, sexual and moral offences, defamation, and the discipline of the clergy.
