, Doctor of Div. an eminent and learned man and a Grey Frier of the Order of S. Francis, was consecrated Bishop of S. Asaph in July 1519. You may see more of him among the writers under the year fifteen hundred thirty and five, 1535 in which year he died. In the said See succeeded William Barlow in the latter end of the year 1535. who a little before (in the same year) was sent into Scotland with one Holcroft about points of Religion against the Pope, at which time he the said Barlow was stiled Prior of Bisham. He was also sent soon after with William Lord Howard into the same Country, at which time he went by the title of the Bishop of St. Asaph. Their business then was about the interview with the Scotch King, induced thereunto by his Council, especially those of the Clergy. See G. Buchanan in Rerum Scotic. hist.
