Caernarvonshire (Wales) -- Description and travel
Richard succeeded, and was consecrated A.D. 1240, or rather 1238 or 1237;
because in his Letter to the Pope to resign his Bishoprick, which was
about 1268, he pleads his having been Bishop 30 years and upwards.
Anian, Archdeacon of Anglesey, succeeded Richard, and had the
Temporalities restored Dec. 12, 1268. He is reported to have held a
synod 1291, at St. Mary’s, de Garth Brannan, the ancient Parish Church of
Bangor: he also christened Edward II. in Caernarvon Castle, April 25,
1284.
Cadwgan succeeded Asian in 1306; he enjoyed it but a short time, for we
meet with the consecration of
Griffith ap Iorwerth, on March 26, 1307, on whose death, which happened
1309
Anian Sais, was elected Bishop Sep. 18, 1309, and consecrated Nov. 9th
following; he died Jan. 20, 1327.
Matthew de Englefield, Son of Iorwerth ap Ririd, Archdeacon of Anglesey,
aged 40, succeeded, being elected Feb. 25, 1327, confirmed April 25, and
consecrated June 12, 1328: he granted Bangor a Charter to keep a Fair on
St. Luke’s Day: he died April 25, 1357.
Thomas de Ringstead, S. S. T. P. of Oxford, a Dominican, succeeded, being
nominated by the Pope, consecrated Aug. 27, received the Spiritualities
Nov. 1357; he died at the Grey Friers in Shrewsbury, and was buried at
Huntingdon, he is said to have given £100 for the repairs of this
Cathedral.
Gervase de Castro, (probably the same with Gervase Fitz David, who occurs
Archdeacon A.D. 1351) Canon of Bangor, a Dominican, succeeded Dec. 11,
1366; received the Spiritualities Feb. 17th following, and died Sep.
1370.
Howel ap Grono, Dean of this Church, seems to have succeeded April 16,
1371; he received the Spiritualities July 31, 1371, and going to settle
matters to Rome, he died there, as Brown Willis says, in _Curia Romana_.
John Gilbert, a Friar preacher, succeeded March 17, 1371, received the
Spiritualities July 16, 1372; and the 16th of November following made his
profession of obedience to the See of Canterbury Sep. 12, 1375; he was
translated to Hereford, and afterward to St. David’s; he died in London,
July 28, 1397.
John Swafham, S. Th. P. of Cambridge, a Carmelite of Lynn, in the County
of Norfolk, Bishop of Cloyne in Ireland, A.D. 1363, was translated to
this See July 2, 1376. There was a Charter granted him in 1387, about
appropriating Llan Ynys, and Llan Fair, to the repair of the Church, and
support of four Chaplains, to officiate in the Choir: he continued Bishop
till 1394, and so no doubt till the election of
Richard Young, L.L.D. Oct. 21, 1399, or May 20, 1400, who had the
Temporalities restored in 1404. He was translated to Rochester, where he
died.
