 CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Simon of Sudbury
Sudbury succeeded Langham as Archbishop of Canterbury in 1375, and his friendship with John of Gaunt and the Lancastrian party at once brought him into opposition with Courtenay, Bishop of London, and William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester.
Sudbury was an amiable but not a strong man and John of Gaunt's support of Wyclif made the archbishop reluctant to proceed against the latter.
It was said that Sudbury, when Bishop of London, had discouraged pilgrimages to the shrine of St. Thomas at Canterbury; he was known to be the friend of John of Lancaster, and he had imprisoned John Ball, the peasant leader, as his predecessors had done, at Maidstone.
