William of Wykeham ended in a temporary See also:triumph for the bishop
.
Wycliffe was another cause of difference between Lancaster and Courtenay
.
In 1377 the reformer appeared before Archbishop Sudbury and Courtenay, when an altercation between the duke and the bishop led to the dispersal of the See also:court, and during the ensuing See also:riot Lancaster probably owed his safety to the See also:good offices of his foe
.
Having meanwhile become See also:arch-bishop of Canterbury Courtenay summoned a See also:council, or See also:synod, in London, which condemned the opinions of Wycliffe; he then attacked the See also:Lollards at Oxford, and urged the bishops to imprison heretics

In 1382 the archbishop's visitation led to disputes with the bishops of Exeter and See also:Salisbury, and Courtenay was only partially able to enforce the See also:payment of a See also:special tax to meet his expenses on this occasion
.
During his concluding years the archbishop appears to have upheld the papal authority in England, although not to the injury of the English Church
.
He protested against the See also:confirmation of the See also:statute of provisors in 1390, and he was successful in slightly modifying the statute of See also:praemunire in 1393
