In addition, the [[Prerogative Court of the Archbishop of Canterbury]] held jurisdiction over England including both the provinces of York and Canterbury. Mostly the wealthy but occasionally from among even those of modest means who owned property in more than one diocese or smaller court jurisdictions, as well as Royal Naval personnel--often had their estates proven through one of the Archbishop's court. | |||
