In See also:November of this See also:year Stratford became See also:chancellor, and for the next ten years he was actively engaged in public business, being the king's most prominent adviser and being politically, says See also:Stubbs, the " See also:head of the Lancastrian or constitutional party." In 1333 he was appointed archbishop of See also:Canterbury and he resigned the chancellorship in the following year; however, he held this 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 ")

.
His concluding years were mainly spent in the See also:discharge of his spiritual duties, and he died at Mayfield in See also:Sussex on the 23rd of See also:August 1348
