the see of Canterbury[1] after the death of archbishop Lanfranc in 1089 and the appointment of Anselm in 1093. He was a witness to the foundation charter of the abbey of St. Werbrugh, Chester, in 1093[2], and held the bishopric in July 1100, when the church of Gloucester was rebuilt[3], and he was present at the consecration of Thomas archbishop of York v Cal. Jul. 1109[4]; in which year he was driven from his see by the Welsh, and appointed by the King to the bishopric of Ely, then newly created[5].
- The see was vacant about eleven years[6].
1120
20 Hen. I.David was elected by Griffin prince of Wales, and the clergy and people of his principality. He was consecrated at Westminster by Ralph archbishop of Canterbury 4th April 1120[7]; but there is no evidence of the date of his death that can be relied on. He was succeeded by
1139
4 Steph.Maurice or Meuric, who was consecrated in 1139[8] by
Theobald archbishop of Canterbury, and died in 1161[9].
William, prior of St. Augustine, Bristol. The greatest uncertainty relative to this prelate prevails: nothing seems known of him but his name; but if there were a bishop so called about this period, he must have presided some time between the death of Maurice in 1161 and the consecration of Guy in 1177[10].
