32 Hen. II.Reiner[1], consecrated, according to Wikes, in 1186[2]. He was present at the synod holden 19th Oct. 1200[3]; and there was a bishop of St. Asaph, whose initial was R, who was alive in 1219 and 1223. If this be the same prelate who died in 1224[4], he must have been bishop thirty-eight years.
1225
10 Hen. III.Abraham was consecrated bishop of St. Asaph in 1225[5], and died about 1233[6]. A congé d'élire addressed to the archdeacon and chapter of St. Asaph, issued 4th Feb. 1233[7], in pursuance of which,
1233
18 Hen. IIIHugh, a monk of the order of Friars Preachers, was chosen. The royal assent was given to his election
11th April 1233[8], and he was consecrated at Reading 17th June 1235[9]. He witnessed a charter to the monastery of Basingwerk, dated at Coleshill on the Feast of St. James (25th July) 1240[10]; and 30th Aug. 1241 he was a surety for David prince of Wales[11]. The exact date of his death has not been ascertained; but he was succeeded by
1242
26 Hen. III.Howel ap Ednevet, who was consecrated at Boxgrave in 1242[12]. He died at Oxford, where he was buried, in 1247[13].

- ↑ He could not have been consecrated by archbishop Edmund, as the Canterbury Register asserts, for that prelate died in 1240. The same Register commits a still greater anachronism in stating that Howel was consecrated with Robert Grosthead: that bishop was certainly consecrated by archbishop Edmund, but the ceremony was performed 3rd June 1235, seven years before the election of Howel ap Ednevet.
