BURGHERSH, HENRY (1292-1340)

This article appears in Volume V04, Page 816 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: BUN-CAL
BURGHERSH, HENRY (1292-1340) , English
bishop
  and
chancellor
 , was a younger son of Robert, Baron Burghersh (d. 1305), and a nephew of Bartholomew, Lord
Badlesmere
 , and was educated in France. In 1320 owing to
Badlesmere
 's influence
Pope
  John XXII. appointed him
bishop
  of Lincoln in spite of the fact that the chapter had already made an election to the vacant bishopric, and he secured the position without delay. After the execution of Badlesmere in 1322 Burghersh's lands were seized by
Edward
  II., and the
pope
  was urged to deprive him; about 1326, however, his possessions were restored, a proceeding which did not prevent him from joining
Edward
 's queen, Isabella, and taking part in the
movement
  which led to the deposition and murder of the king. Enjoying the favour of the new king, Edward III., the bishop became
chancellor
  of England in 1328; but he failed to secure the archbishopric of Canterbury which became 'vacant about the same time, and was deprived of his office of chancellor and imprisoned when Isabella lost her power in 1330. But he was soon released and again in a position of influence. He was treasurer of England from 1334 to 1337, and high in the favour and often in the company of Edward III.; he was sent on several important
errands, and entrusted with important commissions. He died at
Ghent
  on the 4th of December 1340.
The bishop's brother, Bartholomew Burghersh (d. 1355), became Baron Burghersh on the death of his brother Stephen in 1310. He acted as assistant to Badlesmere until the execution of the latter; and then, trusted by Edward III., was constable of Dover Castle and warden of the Cinque Ports. He filled other important positions, served Edward III. both as a diplomatist and a soldier, being present at the battle of Crecy in 1346; and retaining to the last the royal confidence, died in August 1355. His son and successor, Bartholomew (d. 1369), was one of the first knights of the order of the Garter; and earned a
great
  reputation as a soldier, specially distinguishing himself at the battle of Poitiers in 1356.
