RALPH (d. 1122)

This article appears in Volume V22, Page 872 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: PYR-RAY
RALPH (d. 1122) , archbishop of Canterbury, called Ralph de
Turbine
 , or Ralph d'Escures from his father's estate of Escures, near Seez in Normandy, entered the abbey of St Martin at Seez in 1079, and ten years later became abbot of this
house
 . Soon afterwards he paid a visit to England, where his half-brother, Seffrid Pelochin, was bishop of Chichester, and in 1100 he took
refuge
  in England from the violence of Robert of Belesme, passing some time with his friends St Anselm and Gundulf. In March rio8 he succeeded Gundulf as bishop of Rochester. After Anselm's death in April 1109 Ralph acted as
administrator
  of the see of Canterbury until April 1114, when he himself was chosen archbishop at Windsor. In this capacity he was very assertive of the rights of the archbishop of Canter-
bury and of the liberties of the English church. He claimed authority in Wales and
Scotland
 , and he refused to consecrate Thurstan as archbishop of
York
  because the latter prelate declined to profess obedience to the archbishop of Canterbury. This step involved him in a quarrel with the Papacy, and he visited Rome, but was unable to obtain an interview with pope Paschal IL, who had left the city. In spite of peremptory orders from Paschal's successors, Gelasius II. and Calixtus II., the archbishop still refused to consecrate Thurstan, and the dispute was unsettled when he died on the loth of October 1122.
