*William Courtenay*, A.D. 1370-1375, was also appointed by papal provision, which was necessary in consequence of his youth. Although he had already held a canonry of York and prebends in Exeter and Wells in addition to the Chancellorship of Oxford University, he was but twenty-eight years of age. At Oxford he had, with Wicliff, opposed the friars, though he afterwards turned against his former ally. *John Gilbert*, A.D. 1375-1389, with partial success, went to make terms of peace with Charles VI., the French King. He became treasurer of England in 1386, an office of which he was deprived by Richard II. not long before his translation to St. David’s. Bishop Gilbert founded the Cathedral Grammar School. *Thomas Trevenant*, A.D. 1389-1404. An active politician, this Bishop assisted in the deposition of King Richard II., and was one of the commissioners to the Pope to announce the accession of Henry IV. *Robert Mascall*, A.D. 1404-1416, was employed as a foreign ambassador by Henry IV., who also made him his confessor. He attended the council of Constance in 1414. *Edmund Lacy*, A.D. 1417-1420. This Bishop began to build the cloister connecting the cathedral with the Episcopal palace. *Thomas Polton*, A.D. 1420-1421, was consecrated at Florence, and the next year was translated to Chichester. *Thomas Spofford*, A.D. 1421-1448, Abbot of St. Mary’s at York, to which post he returned on resigning his see in 1448. According to a papal bull he laid out 2,800 marks on the buildings of the cathedral,—probably completing the cloisters begun by Bishop Lacy. His pension on retiring was £100 per annum. The great west window of the cathedral was put up in his time by William Lochard. *Richard Beauchamp*, A.D. 1448-1450. Son of Sir Walter, and grandson of Lord Beauchamp of Powick, he was a great architect in his day, although his chief work was done after his translation to Salisbury, when he was appointed by Edward IV. to superintend the works at Windsor which included the rebuilding of St. George’s Chapel where he was buried. It is said he was the first Chancellor of the Order of the Garter. *Reginald Buller*, A.D. 1450-1453, Abbot of St. Peter’s, Gloucester, was translated to Lichfield. He was buried in Hereford Cathedral. *John Stanberry*, A.D. 1453-1474, was a Carmelite friar at Oxford, and was chosen by King Henry VI. to be his confessor, and also first Provost of Eton. In 1448 he was made Bishop of Bangor, and five years later was translated to Hereford. After the battle of Northampton (July, 1460), he was taken prisoner and was incarcerated for some time in Warwick Castle. On his release he retired to the convent of his order at Ludlow, where he died in May, 1474. He was buried at Hereford, near his own Chantry Chapel, which still bears his name. He gave land from the garden of the bishop’s palace for building a dwelling-house for the vicars choral, which was completed in 1475.
