Research Notes:
Archbishop of York [Ref: Keats-Rohan DP p250, Michael Andrews-Reading SGM 10/20/2006-052209, Richardson RoyalAnc v2p619, Weis AR7 #262]
Saint William [Ref: Weis AR7 #262]

known as St William of York, or William fitz Herbert [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p151]

almost always attached to the wrong Herbert FitzHerbert. Clay's EYC clearly shows that the brother of William, Archbishop of York, d.1154, was Herbert FitzHerbert, Chamberlain to the King of Scots. [Ref: Alex Maxwell Findlater SGM 2/7/2005-010335]

In _St William of York_, Dr Christopher Norton, 2006, he suggests that John of Hexham as "stretching a point, but not perhaps quite to the point of breaking" in his description of St William as a kinsman of King Roger. Norton traces a few lines of fairly loose affinity, but no blood link. White had considered that John might have been simply mistaken about this, or even that "cognatus" could have meant a countryman, indicating that both William and Roger were of Norman family background. [Ref: Peter Stewart SGM 10/25/2006-011947]

1136: Treasurer of York and chaplain to King Stephen [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p151]

Jan 1141: elected archbishop of York [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p151]

1142: accused of simony by the Cistercians; he was deposed in 1147 by Eugenius III [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p151]

26 Sep 1143: consecreated [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p151]

Oct 1153: cleared at the papal court by the bishop of Durham, a former dean of York, and was restored [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p151]

Osbert archdeacon of Richmond was accused of poisoning him [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p151]

was regarded as a martyr and miracles were reported at his tomb [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p151]

1227: canonized by Honorius III [Ref: Keats-Rohan DD p151]
