Reynelm (or Reinhelm or Reinelm) was a medieval Bishop of Hereford.

[edit] Life

He was the chancellor to Queen Matilda of England, wife of King Henry I before September 3, 1101. He was also prior of the church of Rochester. He was nominated to the see of Hereford around Christmas of 1102 and invested with the bishopric then, but resigned the temporalities back into the king's control before March 29, 1103 because of concerns over having received investiture by the king. He was consecrated by Archbishop Anselm on August 11, 1107.[1]

He died in October of 1115, either on the 27th or the 28th.[2]
