Courtenay, William (
c.1342–96). Archbishop of Canterbury. Courtenay's aristocratic connections carried him rapidly up the ladder of preferment. Of the Devon family, he graduated in law at Oxford and was chancellor in 1367. In 1370, he became bishop of Hereford, transferring to London in 1375. His tenure there saw the
Peasants' Revolt, in which Simon
Sudbury, the archbishop of Canterbury, was murdered. Courtenay replaced him and for a short while held the great seal as chancellor. His relations with the young king, Richard II, were turbulent. In 1385 they quarrelled violently when Courtenay attempted to rebuke him for his wild way of life, yet the archbishop supported the statute of
Praemunire (1393), which curbed papal authority.
