[edit] Life
He was a clerk of the diocese of Exeter and educated in physical sciences. He held the prebends of Fenton and Warthill in the diocese of York before becoming chancellor of the diocese of York. He made a trip to Rome on business about the election of Archbishop Sewal de Bovil to York and became a papal chaplain under Pope Alexander IV. In 1260 he was named Bishop of Carlisle by Archbishop Godfrey Ludham of York, but the election was not effective.[1]
He was nominated to the see of Winchester on June 22, 1262 by papal provision and probably consecrated on September 10, 1262. He was enthroned in Winchester Cathedral about Christmas, 1262.[2]
He died on January 20, 1268[3] or on January 19.[2]
