Research Notes:
uncle, Philip of Poitou, was a clerk in attendance at the Crusades to
Richard I. Philip came to England in 1195 as Baron of the Exchequer. He was
ordained a priest in 1196 and consecrated Bishop of Durham May 12 1197.
Apparently he had good rapport with Richard I (Coeur de Lion) and was a
trusted and prominent person. [Ref: EmersonRS EMERSON p11]
On Richard I's return from the Crusades in 1194 he found unrest in the Durham
area. The Bishop of Durham (Hugh Pudsey) had taxed the people, imposed fines,
built monuments and was suspected of witholding money from the king. This may
have prompted Richard I to select his trusted clerk in attendance (Philip of
Poictou) to be Bishop of Durham. Philip of Poictou's sudden rise must have
been politically motivated as he arrived in Durham in 1195 as Baron of the
Exchequer, was elected Bishop of Durham Dec 30 1195, ordained a priest in the
episcopacy in 1196, and consecrated Bishop of Durham May 12 1197. [Ref:
EmersonRS EMERSON p13]
Bishop Philip was involved in the dispute between King John and the pope
regarding choice of the Archbishop of Canterbury -- the monks of Canterbury
had elected one man; the suffragan bishops another. John supported the
bishop's selection, but the monks appealed to the pope, who chose Stephen
Langton. This enraged the king, and Philip sided with him to the utmost.
The main body of clergy sided with the pope; John used violent means to gain
his point, seizing their possessions and committing other illegal and
unpopular acts. In this dispute the kingdom ended under an interdict, and in
the pope's excommunicating John and all his adjerents. Bishop Philip of
Durham was included, and died in 1208 while the land was under interdict and
himself excommunicated. [Ref: EmersonRS EMERSON p17]
The excommunication of King John ruined Aimeric. As heir of Bishop Philip,
he lost most of his land holdings and did not claim his barony. [Ref:
