Oxford, where he attained celebrity as a See also:scholar, and became See also:rector of the former, and subsequently See also:chancellor of the latter university
.
He held prebendal stalls in the cathedrals of See also:Lincoln and St See also:Paul's, and was made See also:archdeacon of See also:Essex about 1283
.
In See also:December 1292 See also:John See also:Peckham, archbishop of Canterbury, died, and See also:early in the following See also:year Winchelsea was elected as his successor
.
His See also:consecration, which took See also:place at See also:Aquila in See also:September 1294, was delayed owing to the vacancy in the papacy, but he found no difficulty in obtaining the temporalities of the see from See also:- KING

King See also:Edward I
.
Winchelsea is chiefly renowned as a strenuous upholder of the privileges of the See also:clergy and the authority of the See also:pope, and as a fearless opponent of Edward I
.
Strengthened by the issue of the papal See also:bull Clericis laicos in 1296, he stimulated the clergy to refuse pecuniary assistance to Edward in 1297; but after the king had pronounced See also:sentence of See also:outlawry against the delinquents he instructed each clerk to decide this question for himself
.
Personally the archbishop still declined to make any contribution towards the expenses of the See also:French See also:war, and his lands were seized and held by Edward until See also:July 1297, when a somewhat ostentatious reconciliation between king and See also:prelate took place at See also:Westminster
.
He took some See also:part in the See also:movement which led to the See also:confirmation of the charters by Edward later in the same year, but the struggle with the king did not exhaust his energies
.
He asserted his authority over his suffragans to the full; quarrelled with Pope See also:Boniface VIII. over the presentation to a See also:Sussex living, and was excommunicated by one of the pope's minions; and vigorously contested the claim of the archbishop of See also:York to carry his See also:cross erect in the See also:province of Canterbury
.
Before these events, however, the See also:quarrel with Edward had been renewed, although Winchelsea officiated in 1299 at the king's See also:marriage with See also:Margaret, daughter of See also:- PHILIP
- PHILIP (Gr.'FiXtrsro , fond of horses, from dn)^eiv, to love, and limos, horse; Lat. Philip pus, whence e.g. M. H. Ger. Philippes, Dutch Filips, and, with dropping of the final s, It. Filippo, Fr. Philippe, Ger. Philipp, Sp. Felipe)

- PHILIP, KING (c. 1639-1676)
- PHILIP, LANOGRAVE OF HESSE (1504-1567)
Philip III., king of See also:France
.
Joining the barons in demanding certain reforms from Edward at the See also:parliament of Lincoln in 1301, he compelled the king to give way on the See also:main issues; but the indignation which followed the claim of Pope Boniface to be the See also:protector of See also:Scotland, a claim which was supported by Winchelsea, led to the rupture of this See also:alliance
.
It is probable that one of the reasons which led the archbishop to join in these proceedings was his hostility to Edward's adviser, See also:Walter See also:Langton, See also:bishop of See also:Lichfield, whom he sought to disgrace both in See also:England and at See also:Rome
.
The king cherished his indignation until his friend See also:Clement V. became pope in 1305, when he made his final move against Winchelsea
.

exile until Edward's See also:death in July 1307
.
The new king, Edward II., requested Clement to allow Winchelsea to return to his see
.
The pope assented, but soon after his return to England early in 1308 the archbishop joined the king's enemies; even demanded the See also:release from See also:prison of his old enemy, Langton, and was one of the " ordainers
appointed in 1310
.
He assisted the barons in their struggle
with Edward II. by a frequent use of spiritual weapons, and took part in the proceedings against the See also:Templars
.
He died at Otford on the r1th of May 1313
.
Miracles were said to have been worked at his See also:tomb in Canterbury See also:cathedral, but efforts to procure his See also:canonization were unavailing
.
Although a See also:secular See also:priest Winchelsea was somewhat ascetic, and his private See also:life was distinguished for sanctity and generosity
.
As an ecclesiastic, however, he was haughty and fond of See also:power; and he has been not inappropriately described as " the greatest churchman of the See also:- TIME (0. Eng. Lima, cf. Icel. timi, Swed. timme, hour, Dan. time; from the root also seen in " tide," properly the time of between the flow and ebb of the sea, cf. O.
