AYMER, or 1ETHELMAR, OF VALENCE (d. 126o)

This article appears in Volume V03, Page 73 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: AUD-BAI
AYMER, or 1ETHELMAR, OF VALENCE (d. 126o) , bishop of Winchester, was a half-brother of
Henry
  III. His mother was Isabelle of
Angouleme
 , the second wife of King John, his father was Hugo of Lusignan, the count of La
Marche
 , whom Isabelle married in 122o. The children of this
marriage
  came to England in 1247 in the
hope
  of obtaining court preferment. In 1250 the king, by putting strong pressure upon the electors, succeeded in obtaining the see of Winchester for Aymer. The appointment was in every way unsuitable. Aymer was illiterate, ignorant of the English language, and wholly secular in his mode of life. Upon his head was concentrated the whole of the popular indignation against the foreign favourites; and he seems to have deserved this unenviable distinction. At the
parliament
  of Oxford (1258) he and his brothers repudiated the new constitution prepared by the barons. He was pursued to Winchester, besieged in Wolvesey castle, and finally compelled to surrender and leave the kingdom. He had never been consecrated; accordingly in 1259 the chapter of Winchester proceeded to a new election. Aymer, however, gained. the support of the pope; he was on his way back to England when he was over-
taken by a fatal illness at Paris.

Stubbs
 ' Constitutional History, vol. ii. (1896); G. W. Prothero's Simon de
Montfort
  (1877); W. H. Bleauw's Barons' War (1871).
