__NOTOC__ Robert Warelwast (died 1155) was a medieval Bishop of Exeter. ==Life== Warelwast and his successor, Robert of Chichester are often confused.〔Barlow ''English Church'' p. 93〕 Warelwast was the nephew of the previous bishop, William Warelwast, and was appointed archdeacon of Exeter by his uncle.〔Crouch ''Reign of King Stephen'' p. 302〕 He had been educated at Laon,〔Chibnall ''Anglo-Norman England'' p. 128〕 sent there by his uncle to study under Master Anselm of Laon.〔Barlow "Warelwast, Robert de" ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography''〕 Warelwast was nominated on 10 April 1138〔 at a royal council held at Northampton.〔Appleby ''Troubled Reign'' p. 47〕 Probably, he was elected by the cathedral chapter and his election was formally accepted by King Stephen of England at Northampton.〔 He was consecrated on 18 December 1138〔 by the papal legate Alberic, because the archbishopric of Canterbury was vacant.〔 Warelwast went to the Lateran Council held by Pope Innocent II in 1139.〔Appleby ''Troubled Reign'' p. 61〕〔Barlow ''English Church'' p. 112〕 During King Stephen's reign, he was forced to recognize Baldwin de Redvers as Earl of Cornwall, but continued to date his charters by Stephen's regnal years.〔Matthew ''King Stephen'' pp. 121–122〕 He seems to have favored Stephen, but his diocese was not strategically significant in the civil war and he was little bothered by the disorders of the reign. He did excommunicate Matilda's half-brother Reginald fitz Roy whom she had made Earl of Cornwall, but this was because Richard had ravaged church lands.〔 Warelwast failed to attend the Council of Rheims in 1148, and was suspended from his bishopric by Pope Eugene III for this. Warelwast was a patron of Baldwin of Exeter, the future Archbishop of Canterbury, sending Baldwin to Italy to study canon law.〔 Warelwast died about 28 March 1155.〔Fryde, et al. ''Handbook of British Chronology'' p. 246〕 He was still alive on 7 February 1155 when he oversaw the translation of relics at Launceston Priory, but died soon after that. He was buried in his cathedral.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Warelwast」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
