STORMYINDEPENDENCE

FromthechronicleofEadmer, amonkofCanterbury,weknowi thattheindependentspiritofthe Archbishopinspiritualmatters clashedfromtheverybeginning withthe.ambition,spiritualand tempokral,ofWilliamandHenry: hebelievedtheChurchlawon investiturestobebindingonhim; theyhadtheEnglishdislikeof foreigninterference.Itwasnot merelyconfinedtoWilliamand Henry;thedislikemaybetraced backtoWilliamtheConqueror, theirfather,andfurtherbackto theSaxonkingssincetheinvasionofEngland.Religiousat heart,tothepointofsubserviencetothePope,theConqueror andhissuccessorsinvadedtheecclesiasticalrightswheneverpower orinterestwasconcerned;and forceorcrueltywasexercisedto obtainthegoodsoftherichor poor.Howinsecurepropertywas atthetimeoftheConqueroris manifestbythefactthatupon hisdeathknights,prelatesand citizenshastenedtoconcealtheir mostvaluableeffects.Andifin thelifetimeofthemonarchthe authorityofArchbishopLanfranc,hisadviser,checkedfora yvhiletheroyalrapacity,"the deathofthatprelate,in1089, removedeveryrestraint."
