Dean of Lincoln and Archdeacon of Evreux, he was appointed to the office of Chancellor under King Stephen in 1139. Despite the King's support, he failed in his bid to be elected Bishop of Salisbury in 1140. It later became known that during a short stay at Salisbury, he stole a relic described as "one arm covered with gold plate and adorned with precious stones". Associated with Henry II (at the time Duke of Normandy), he became Bishop of Bayeux in 1142. He was present at the King's coronation in 1156 and at the translation of the bodies of Dukes Richard I and II of Normandy at Fécamp in 1162. Philip bestowed the manor and church of Shipley on the Templars between 1135 and 1139, and in 1154 added St. Mary's, Sompting to their holdings in Sussex. He's buried on the North side of the entrance to the cathedral at Bayeux, France. |
