	Britannia Biographies: St. Wilfred the Elder, Bishop of York
		Bishop Colman showed the indomitable pride and tenacity of the Celtic race, and Wilfred the eloquence, vehement and persuasive, which distinguished him.
		However, the first Northern bishop, Paulinus, had fixed his episcopal chair not at Lindisfarne, to which the later Scottish mission under Aidan had transferred it, but at York; and it was to this city that Wilfred immediately removed his new see.
		No objection seems to have been raised at the time but, when it was found that he lingered in France and left his see for some time uncared for, the Ionian party, headed by Alchfrith, persuaded King Oswiu to fill his place by the appointment of St. Chad, the Abbot of Lastingham.

		The Bishop of Rochester, the Rt Rev Michael Nazir-Ali, who is widely tipped to be the next Primate, is likely to benefit from the election to the Crown Appointments Commission (CAC) of the Bishop of Leicester, the Rt Rev Timothy Stevens.
		Bishop Stevens, who is relatively unknown, is described by insiders as an "establishment liberal", but one who would almost certainly back Bishop Nazir-Ali over the Archbishop of Wales, Dr Rowan Williams.
		There was speculation that the House of Bishops had sent the CAC an episcopal colleague least likely to cause offence, prompting one Church commentator to quip that it was "a case of the bland leading the bland".

		Previously, for over a thousand years Fulham Palace was the residence, although, from the eighteenth century, London House, next to the Bishop's Chapel in Aldersgate Street, was where he had his chambers, and was used as a more convenient place for the Bishop to conduct his affairs.
		Because the Bishop's diocese includes the Royal palaces and the seat of government at Westminster, he has been regarded as the 'King's bishop' and has historically had considerable influence with members of the Royal Family and leading politicians of the day.

	CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Lollards
		Repingdon became in course of time Abbot of Leicester, Bishop of Lincoln, and a cardinal, while Ashton returned to his heretical ways and to the preaching of Lollardy.
		Meanwhile the church authorities had limited the use of translations to those who had the bishop's license, and the possession of portions of the English Bible, generally with Wycliffite prefaces, by unauthorized persons was one of the accepted evidences of Lollardy.
		This Act recited in its preamble that it was directed against a certain new sect "who thought damnably of the sacraments and usurped the office of preaching." It empowered the bishops to arrest, imprison, and examine offenders and to hand over to the secular authorities such as had relapsed or refused to abjure.
