Antony Bek (also spelled Beck) (1279–19 December 1343) was a medieval Bishop of Norwich as well as being elected Bishop of Lincoln, although the election was quashed.
He was elected Bishop of Lincoln on February 3, 1320 but the election was quashed later in the year.[1]
He was the chancellor and dean of Lincoln Cathedral and became bishop of Norwich after a disputed election in 1337.
He was nominated to Norwich on March 14, 1337 and consecrated on March 30, 1337.[2]
He was a quarrelsome man and, after a stormy episcopate, died on 19 December 1343.[2]
He is not to be confused with Antony Bek, bishop of Durham and Latin patriarch of Jerusalem, his kinsman and namesake.
