Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Latin Poems Commonly Attributed to Water Mapes From that writer we learn that Mapes (or Map, which appears to be the proper orthography of the name), was a great favourite of King Henry II., who esteemed him equally for his extensive learning and for his courtly manners, and that he was one of the ornaments of the court of that monarch. He obtained, by this high favour, various ecclesiastical dignities, being canon of the churches of Salisbury and of St. Paul´s in London, præcentor of Lincoln, incumbent of Westbury in Gloucestershire, with many other benefices, and finally archdeacon of Oxford. We learn from Thomas of Walsingham that he obtained this latter dignity in 1197, and he probably held it as well as the parsonage of Westbury to the end of his life. He visited Rome at the time of the great dispute between his friend Giraldus and Hubert Archbishop of Canterbury, relating to the rights of the Church of St. David´s.
