 | | Silvester de Everdon, lord high chancellor, was constituted the next bishop, who, together with the archbishop of Canterbury, and others, opposed the king's encroachments on the liberties of the church, particularly in the freedom of electing bishops. |
 | | This bishop was one of the plenipotentiaries in a treaty of peace with Robert de Brus, in 1320; but he died in 1324, having held the see thirty-two years. |
 | | This prelate was inveterately persecuted by the Scots, in his diocese, nor does he seem to have been beloved by his convent nor clergy; in consequence of which he spent much of his time on the continent, and many of his ordinations were held at Durham, Horncastle, Corbridge, and London. |
