archdeacon of Oxford in 1259, was consecrated bishop of London in 1263. He took part with the seditious barons against king Henry III, for which he was excommunicated by Othobon, the pope's legate. He went to Rome, but did not receive absolution for seven years. He returned home, and died September 16, 1273, and was buried in his own church of St. Paul's, London.
