BLOET, ROBERT (d. 1123) , English bishop, was chancellor to William I. and Rufus. From the latter he received the see of Lincoln (1093) in succession to

Remigius

REMIGIUS, ST (c. 437-533)

. His private character was indifferent; but he administered his see with skill and prudence, built largely, and kept a magnificent household, which served as a training-school even for the sons of nobles. Bloet was active in assisting

Henry

I. during the rebellion of 1102, and became that monarch's

justiciar

JUSTICIAR (med. Lat. justiciarius or justitiarius, a judge)

. Latterly, however, he fell out of favour, and, although he had been very rich, was impoverished by the fines which the king extorted from him. Perhaps his wealth was his

chief

CHIEF (from Fr. chef, head, Lat. caput)

offence in the king's eyes; for he was in attendance on

Henry

when seized with his last illness. He was the patron of the chronicler Henry of Hunting-don, whom he advanced to an archdeaconry.
