[edit] Life

He was keeper of the king's seal, usually known as Lord Chancellor from 1131 to 1135.[1]

He was nominated to the see of London by the Empress Matilda[2] and consecrated about 1141.[3] He died in 1150, and as his death was commemorated on both September 28 and September 29, he probably died on one of those dates in 1150.[2]
