Bishop of Chester as appears by the Third Part of the Monasticon page 218. as also by Bishop Godwin Jsaackson Doctor Heylin Simeon Dunelmensis Matt. Paris and many other antient Authors from about 1128. until about the year 1148. or 1149. which fell out to be in the time of Randle de Gernoniis for he was Earl as appears in your Book from about the year 1128 till about the year 1153. And I doubt not but to make it as clear that a William was Archbishop of York in the time of the said Randle de Gernoniis and Roger Clinton and though the said William was afterwards ousted yet whilst he enjoyed that Archbishoprick he was and would in Deeds and otherways be owned as Archbishop of York Now that a William was Archbishop of York in the time of the said Earl and the said Bishop I have already shewed you in my former Book out of Isaackson's Chronology and shall thus make it further to appear If you look into Bishop Godwin's Catalogue of the Bishops of England printed at London 1615 page 581. in the life of Heny Murdack Archbishop of York you may find him saying thus King Stephen had a kinsman named William 1142. Stephen 8. that was Son unto Emma his Sister by Earl Herbert a Man no less noble in Mind and Vertue then Stock and Lineage He being Treasurer of York was now elected unto the Archbishoprick and having obtained Consecration also sent to Rome for his Pall. His speed there was not so good as he looked for by some Adversaries many exceptions were taken against him whereby it came to pass not only his Suit was put off and stayed for that time but also Process awarded to admonish him to come thither in Person to answer the accusations laid against him At his coming to Rome he found his Adversaries many and Mighty And among the rest it is remembred that St. Bernard then living was very earnest against him Eugenius the Pope had been brought up in the Abbey of Clareual under St. Bernard together with Henry Murdac whom Williams adversaries had set up to be a Suiter for his Archbishoprick The Pope being thus carried away with the perswasion of his old Acquaintance and some shew of matter was content to deprive William and to place Henry Murdac in his room whom he caused to be Consecrated presently and sent him home into England with his Pall. King Stephen hearing this Newes was much grieved with the disgrace of his Nephew which all Men judged undeserved Therefore He stood upon Termes with the new Arch-bishop and required him to Swear unto Him fealty in some extraordinary manner and when he denyed easily took occasion of displeasure against him The Townsmen of York that loved William exceedingly for his Gentleness and Vertuous behaviour amongst them hearing how the King was affected refused to receive Murdac into their City For this resistance he suspended them which notwithstanding Eustach the King's Son commanded Service to be said as at all other times was accustomed By means hereof as also by reason that the King's Officers were very terrible and heavy enemies unto all that had laboured for the Deprivation of William Seditions and Tumults were daily raised in the City amongst which a certain Archdeacon a Friend of the Archbishop was slain Two or three years these stirs continued till at last the Kings wrath by means being appeased York-men were content to receive their Archbishop peaceably He governed very austerely the space of ten years dyed Octob. 14. 1153. at Sherborne and was buryed in his Cathedral Church And when Bishop Godwin hath thus said he presently after tells you how the said William there called Saint William after the death of Henry Murdac was again restored to the said Archbishoprick Also if you look in John Brompton's Chronicon col 1028. l. 63. in the life of King Stephen you may find him thus saying Dicto autem Thurstino Eboracensi Archiepiscopo Monasterii Fontanensis aliorumque octo fundatore ut dictum est decedente and he dyed sayes the said Brompton col 1028 l. 25. in the year 1140. with which Bishop Godwin doth accord Singuli Ecclesiae Eboracensis Canonici beatum Willielmum ejusdem Ecclesiae Thesaurarium praeferunt tam pro honestate morum quam excellentia meritorum Iste namque Willielmus ex spectabili prosapia Regis Stephani ortus praeclaris natalium titulis fuerat insignitus erat enim silius potentissimi viri Comitis Herberti Qui quamvis post decessum dicti Archiepiscopi Thurstani ad sedem Eboracensem electus fuerat invidia tamen impetuosus amor dominandi quemdam ejusdem Ecclesiae Archilevitam adeo in regionem dissimilitudinis traxerant ut inter eligentes discidium excitavit ipsum Willielmum a saniori parte eïectum impediens licet de ejus electione clerus populus acclamassent laudum praeconia suspenditur igitur causa ad Apostolicae sedis examen provocata See also the said Brompton to the same purpose Col. 1041. l. 10. Also Roger Hoveden who lived in the time of King Henry the Second King Richard the First and King John in the First Part of his Annalls Printed at Frankfort 1601. Page 490. l. 51. writes thus of the Restitution of the said William eodem anno obiit Henricus Eboracensis Archiepiscopus quo defuncto Willielmus Archiepiscopus quem Papa Eugenius suspenderat Romam profectus est invenit gratiam apud Anastasium Papam redditus est ei Archiepiscopatus Eboracensis And I think it is not to be doubted though I have not yet found the place but that the said Hoveden doth speak of his being chosen after the death of Thurstan because Isaakson in his Chronology cites Hoveden for what he there sayes but he names not the Pages Also Thomas Stubbs a Dominican writing of the Archbishops of York col 1721. l. 15. thus sayes Vicessimus nonus successit in Archiepiscopatum Eboracensis ecclesiae Henricus Murdak ●isterciensis ordinis Monachus ae professor probatissimus vir magnae sanctitatis abstinentiae laudabilis Defuncto namque ut praemittitur Thurstino Eboracensi Archiepiscopo convocatisque ad electionem pontificis Canonicis ecclesiae Eboracensis Willielmus ejusdem Ecelesiae Thesaurarius Canonicus exigentibus suis meritis a Majori saniore parte in Archiepiscopum est electus Erat enim strenuissimi Comitis Herberti filius ex Emma sorore Regis Anglorum Stephani progenitus Vir quidem genere nobilis sed morum excellentia vita mundissima incomparabiliter insignis Interea vero Osbertus archidiaconus Eboracensis invidiae stimulo agitatus facta inter eligentes dissentione confirmationem ipsius electi licet ab omnibus dignus haberetur pertinaciter impedivit suspenso igitur negotio partibusque coram Romano pontifice super hujus electionis discussione personditer vocatis idem Willielmus persequentibus illum adversariis suis injuste accusantibus conseerationis gratiam minime potuit optimere Lite ergo in
