No bishop might leave the realm without the royal permission.

No tenant in chief or royal servant might be excommunicated, or their land placed under interdict, but by the king's assent.

What was new was the legislation respecting ecclesiastical jurisdiction.

The King's Court was to decide whether a suit between clerk and layman, whose nature was disputed, belonged to the Church courts or the King's.

A royal officer was to be present at all ecclesiastical proceedings in order to confine the Bishop's court within its own due limits, and a clerk convicted there passed at once under the civil jurisdiction.
