 John de Stratford - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
He served as archdeacon of Lincoln, canon of York and dean of the court of arches before 1323, when he became bishop of Winchester, an appointment which was made during his visit to Pope John XXII at Avignon and which was very much disliked by Edward II.
Fearing arrest John de Stratford fled to Canterbury, and entered upon a violent war of words with the king, and by his firm conduct led to the establishment of the principle that peers were only to be tried in full parliament before their own order (en pleyn parlement et devant les piers).
He served for a time as deputy to his brother, and in 1337 became chancellor and bishop of Chichester; he lost the former office in 1340 and died on April 9, 1362.

 CA97-1068. John Robert Nash et al. v. Gerald A. ...
The chancellor ruled that the rule-against-perpetuities argument was inapplicable and untimely, and that appellants had impliedly waived the right to partition by inclusion of the right of first refusal.
Appellants raise several arguments for reversal, but we need address only those that we find dispositive: that the chancellorerred in ruling that their argument concerning the rule against perpetuities was not timely, and in ruling that the right of first refusal in the deed and sales agreement did not violate the rule against perpetuities.
The chancellor ruled that appellants' rule-against-perpetuities argument was untimely because it was not raised until trial.
