Men of Kent and Kentishmen/Simon of Faversham
Simon of Faversham,
May be presumed, from his name, to be a Kentish man. Leland informs us that he was eminent in philosophy and divinity, which he studied at Oxford, where he held the dignity of Chancellor in 1304 and 1305. He was made Archdeacon of Canterbury by Bishop Winchelsea, but held the dignity only a short time.
