THOMAS DE See also:CANTILUPE (c. 1218-1282)  , See also:English See also:saint and See also:prelate, was a son of See also:William de See also:Cantilupe, the 2nd See also:baron (d . 1251), one of See also:King See also:John's ministers, and a See also:nephew of See also:Walter de Cantilupe, See also:bishop of See also:Worcester . He was educated at See also:Paris and See also:Orleans, afterwards becoming a teacher of See also:canon See also:law at See also:Oxford and See also:chancellor of the university in 1262 . During the Barons' See also:War See also:Thomas favoured See also:Simon de See also:Montfort and the baronial party . He represented the barons before St See also:Louis of See also:France ' E.g. the See also:late See also:form of the relative pronoun used throughout except in See also:title; See also:foreign words, See also:Persian and See also:Greek; Aramaic words and usages (details in the See also:Comm. or in E . B . 693) . at See also:Amiens in 1264; he was made chancellor of See also:England in See also:February 1265, but was deprived of this See also:office after Montfort's See also:death at See also:Evesham, and lived out of England for some See also:time . Returning to England, he was again chancellor of Oxford University, lectured on See also:theology, and held several ecclesiastical appointments . In 1274 he attended the second See also:council of See also:Lyons, and in 1275 he was appointed bishop of See also:Hereford . Cantilupe was now a trusted adviser of See also:Edward I.; he attended the royal See also:councils, and even when differing from the king did not forfeit his favour . The See also:archbishop of See also:Canterbury, See also:Robert See also:Kilwardby, was also his friend; but after Kilwardby's death in 1279 a See also:series of disputes arose between the bishop and the new archbishop, John See also:Peckham, and this was probably the cause which drove Cantilupe to visit See also:Italy .

He died at See also:

Orvieto, on the 25th of See also:August 1282, and he was canonized in 1330 . Cantilupe appears to have been an exemplary bishop both in spiritual and See also:secular affairs . His charities were large and his private See also:life blameless; he was constantly visiting his See also:diocese, correcting offenders and discharging other episcopal duties; and he compelled neighbouring landholders to restore estates which rightly belonged to the see of Hereford . In 1905 the Cantilupe Society was founded to publish the episcopal registers of Hereford, of which Cantilupe's is the first in existence . See the Ada Sanctorum, See also:Boll., 1st See also:October; and the See also:Register of Thomas de Cantilupe, with introduction by W . W . Capes (1906) .
