Thomas of Corbridge
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Thomas of Corbridge was Archbishop of York between 1300-1304. In July 1301, Thomas sent notice from Bradford to the prioress of Kirklees Priory that he intended to visit the house the very next day. This is the only instance of the archbishop's intention to visit a house at short notice on this particular tour of office. It could suggest that Thomas felt the need to check on the state of Kirklees. It may have had something to do with the court case involving Alice le Mousters, the prioress at that time, Elizabeth de Hopton, a nun, and Robert Illewylly.
