  Britannia Biographies: Geoffrey Plantagenet, Archbishop of York
Geoffrey Plantagenet was an illegitimate son of King Henry II.
Geoffrey, at last, consented to accept their nomination which was, shortly afterwards, confirmed by King Richard I. Geoffrey was then ordained priest; but it was not until the 18th August 1191 that he was consecrated Bishop in the Church of St. Maurice at Tours by the Archbishop of that see.
The result was the suspension of Archbishop Geoffrey by the Pope; but that suspension was reversed and a sentence given altogether in Geoffrey's favour upon his personal appeal to Rome.
