, See also:archbishop of See also:Canterbury, was probably a native of See also:Sussex, and received his See also:early See also:education from the Cluniac monks of See also:Lewes
.
About 1250 he joined the Franciscan See also:- ORDER

.
Shortly afterwards he proceeded to the university of See also:Paris, where he took his degree under St Bonaventure and became See also:regent in See also:theology
.
For many years See also:Peckham taught at Paris, coming into contact with the greatest scholars of the See also:day, among others St See also:- THOMAS

About 1270 he returned to Oxford and taught there, being elected in 1275 provincial See also:minister of the See also:Franciscans in See also:England, but he was soon afterwards called to See also:Rome as See also:lector sacri palatii, or theological lecturer in the See also:schools of the papal See also:palace
.
In 1279 he returned to England as archbishop of Canterbury, being appointed by the See also:pope on the rejection of See also:Robert See also:Burnell, See also:Edward I.'s See also:candidate
.
Peckham was always a strenuous See also:advocate of the papal See also:power, especially as shown in the See also:council of See also:Lyons in 1274
.
His enthronement in See also:October 1279 marks the beginning of an important See also:epoch in the See also:history of the See also:English primacy
.
Its characteristic See also:note was an insistence on discipline which offended contemporaries
.
Peckham's zeal was not tempered by discernment, and he had little See also:gift of sympathy or See also:imagination
.
His first See also:act on arrival in England was to See also:call a council at See also:Reading, which met in See also:July 1279
.
Its See also:main See also:object was ecclesiastical reform, but the See also:pro-See also:vision that a copy of Magna Carta should be hung in all See also:cathedral and collegiate churches seemed to the See also:- KING

king a See also:political See also:action, and See also:parliament declared void any action of this council touching on the royal power
.
Nevertheless Peckham's relations with the king were often cordial, and Edward called on him for help in bringing order into conquered See also:Wales
.
The See also:chief note of his activity was, however, certainly ecclesiastical
.
The See also:crime of " See also:plurality," the holding by one cleric of two or more benefices, was especially attacked, as also clerical See also:absenteeism and See also:ignorance, and laxity in the monastic See also:life
.
Peckham's main See also:instrument was a See also:minute See also:system of " visitation," which he used with a frequency hitherto unknown
.
Disputes resulted, and on some points Peckham gave way, but his See also:powers as papal See also:legate complicated matters, and he did much to strengthen the See also:court of Canterbury at the expense of the See also:lower courts
.
The famous See also:quarrel with St Thomas of See also:Cantilupe, See also:bishop of See also:Hereford, arose out of similar causes
.
A more attractive See also:side of Peckham's career is his activity as a writer
.
The numerous See also:manuscripts of his See also:works to be found in the See also:libraries of See also:Italy, England and See also:France, testify to his See also:industry as a philosopher and commentator
.
In See also:philosophy he represents the Franciscan school which attacked the teaching .of St Thomas Aquinas on the " Unity of See also:Form." He wrote in a See also:quaint and elaborate See also:style on scientific, scriptural and moral subjects and engaged in much controversy in See also:defence of the Franciscan See also:rule and practice
.
He was " an excellent maker of songs," and his See also:hymns are characterized by a lyrical tenderness which seems typically Franciscan
.
Printed examples of his See also:work as commentator and hymn writer respectively may be found in the Firamentum trium ordinum (Paris, 1512), and his See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
