Carlisle, statute of
Carlisle, statute of, 1307. The activities in 1306 of William Testa, an over-zealous collector of Peter's Pence on behalf of Pope Clement V, led to an urgent petition at Edward I's last Parliament at Carlisle. This statute responded by prohibiting payment of Peter's Pence other than was customary and forbidding foreign prelates from raising revenue in England from houses of their order. It constituted a precedent for subsequent anti-papal measures and particularly Henry VIII's legislation in 1533 abolishing payment totally.
