PETER OF AIGUEBLANCHE (d. 1268)

This article appears in Volume V21, Page 293 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PER-PIG
PETER OF AIGUEBLANCHE (d. 1268) , bishop of
Hereford
 , belonged to a noble family of Savoy and came to England in 1236 with his master, William of Savoy, bishop of Valence, being in attendance on Eleanor of
Provence
 , the
bride
  of
Henry
  III. A year or two later he is found residing permanently in England as a member of the king's court; before 1239 he was archdeacon of Salop, and in 1240 he was chosen bishop of
Hereford
 . In 1255 Peter acted as
Henry
 's principal agent in the matter of accepting the kingdom of Sicily from
Pope
  Alexander IV. for his son Edmund, and his rapacious and dishonest methods of raising money for this foolish enterprise added not a little to the unpopularity which surrounded the king and his foreign favourites. When civil war broke out between Henry and his barons the bishop remained loyal to his master, and whilst residing, almost for the first time, at Hereford he was taken prisoner in May 1263. He was, however, released when the king and his enemies came to terms, and after a stay in France he retired to Savoy, where he died on the 27th of November 1268.
See F. Mugnier, Les Savoyards en Angleterre au_ XIIP siecle et Pierre d' Aigueblanche (Chambery, 1890).
