Origins

Career

From 29 November 1329 until 1330, he was Archdeacon of Exeter in Devon, later holding the post of Archdeacon of Totnes, also in Devon, from 1338 until 1349.^[3] He was appointed Chancellor of the University of Oxford from 1345 to 1349.^[4] He died in or after 1349 and a brass plaque to his memory was placed in the collegiate church of Ottery St Mary in Devon.^[5]
