[A.D. 1112-1123.] THEULF; also a canon of Bayeux, and Chaplain to Henry I. [A.D. 1125-1150.] SIMON, Chaplain and Chancellor to Adelais, queen of Henry I. “Affabilitate et morum dulcedine munificentiaque (quoad res Episcopatus angustæ pati possent) insignem habitum[113].” [A.D. 1151-1158.] JOHN DE PAGEHAM; died at Rome. [A.D. 1158-1160.] ALFRED, Chaplain of Henry II. For four years the see remained vacant. [A.D. 1164-1179.] ROGER FITZ COUNT, a natural son of Robert, Earl of Gloucester, himself son of Henry I. The piety and strict life of Bishop Roger are praised by Giraldus Cambrensis. He was the friend and steady supporter of Becket; and was chosen by Henry II., after the death of the Archbishop, to convey to Pope Alexander II. the King’s assurance that he had neither encouraged nor directed the murder. The Bishop died at Tours, August 9, 1179, on his homeward journey from Rome. [A.D. 1180, translated to Canterbury 1185.] BALDWIN, the preacher of the Crusade; who died (Dec., 1190,) in the camp of Cœur de Lion before Acre. (See CANTERBURY CATHEDRAL, Pt. II.) [A.D. 1186-1190] WILLIAM NORTHALL, Archdeacon of Gloucester. [A.D. 1191-1193] ROBERT FITZ RALPH, Canon of Lincoln, and Archdeacon of Nottingham. Son of William Fitz Ralph, Seneschall of Normandy. [A.D. 1193-1195] HENRY DE SOILLI, Abbot of Glastonbury; from which great monastery he was removed, to make way for Savaricus, who held it together with the bishopric of Bath and Wells. (See WELLS CATHEDRAL, Pt. II.) [A.D. 1196-1198] JOHN OF COUTANCES, Dean of Rouen: “cujus sanctitatis refulgent insignia. Nam corpus ejus sacrum cum indumentis Pontificalibus, usque hodie manet integrum et incorruptum[114].” [A.D. 1200-1212] MAUGER, Archdeacon of Evreux, and physician of Richard I. His election had been declared void by the Archbishop of Canterbury, on the score of his illegitimacy. But Mauger proceeded to Rome; and the Pope, Innocent III., “videns elegantiam tanti viri,” confirmed his election, “et illud pulchrum Decretale pro eo composuit quod sic incipit ‘_Innotuit_[115].’” It was during Mauger’s episcopate that St. Wulfstan was canonized. (See Pt. I. §§ I. and VII.) He was one of the bishops who, in 1208, pronounced the Interdict and the excommunication of King John; and, with the others, took refuge in France; where he died (1212) in the Cistercian Abbey of Pontigny, the same which gave a refuge to Becket and to Stephen Langton, and in which Edmund Rich, the sainted Archbishop of Canterbury, afterwards (1240) died. The death of Bishop Mauger occurred before the reconciliation of England with the Papacy.
