The civil wars between the houses of York and Lancaster brought their horrors and distresses, but these very civil upheavals seem to have diverted the Church'...s mind from the Lollard hunt. To ingratiate himself with the clergy, Edward passed a statute which made them almost independent of the civil government, by abolish- LOLLARDISM IN ENGLAND 231 ing the " statute of premunire" which had checked Rome's temporal authority in England, and which, though Popes had striven to have it abrogated, was still sanctioned by the House of Commons.
