WHITTLESEA (or WHITTLESEY), WILLIAM (d. 1374)

This article appears in Volume V28, Page 615 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WAT-WIL
WHITTLESEA (or WHITTLESEY), WILLIAM (d. 1374) , arch-
bishop
  of Canterbury, was probably born in the Cambridgeshire
village
  of Whittlesey. He was educated at
Oxford
 , and owing principally to the fact that he was a nephew of Simon
Islip
 , archbishop of Canterbury, he received numerous ecclesiastical preferments; he held prebends at Lichfield, Chichester and Lincoln, and livings at Ivychurch, Croydon and Cliffe. Later he was appointed
vicar
 -general, and then dean of the court of
arches
  by
Islip
 . In 1360 he became
bishop
  of Rochester, and two years later bishop of Worcester. In 1368
Whittlesea
  was elected archbishop of Canterbury in succession to Simon
Langham
 , but his
term
  of office was very uneventful, a circumstance due partly, but not wholly, to his feeble health. He died at Lambeth on the 5th or 6th of June 1374.
