The English statute usually called Statute of Provisors (25 Edw. 3. Stat. 4), otherwise termed "The Statute of Provisors of Benefices", or anciently De provisoribus. This measure was central to a long disagreement between the English kings and the Roman Curia, concerning filling of ecclesiastical benefices.
