[edit] Life
He was a papal chaplain and proctor as well as a royal envoy. He successively held the offices of prebendary of Teinton Regis and Highworth in the diocese of Salisbury, precentor of the diocese of York, and archdeacon of Northumberland. He was an unsuccessful candidate for the bishopric of Salisbury in March of 1288, losing out to Lawrence de Awkeburne.[1] After Lawrence's death, William was elected on November 24 or November 25, 1288 and consecrated on May 8, 1289. He died in 1291, probably on October 10.[2]
