Bishop Of Lincoln And One Of The Most Learned Men Of The Middle Ages; Born About 1175; Died October, 1253. He Came From Stradbroke In The County Of Suffolk. His Episcopal Duties, So Zealously Performed, Did Not Diminish His Scholarly Interests, While The Fact That Oxford Was In His Diocese, And In A Sense Under His Government, Kept Him In The Closest Touch With The University. He Repeatedly Intervened In University Affairs, Settled Questions Of Discipline And Administration, And Contributed To Those Early Regulations And Statutes Which Determined The Constitution And Character Of Oxford.
