Ralph of Irton (or Ralph de Ireton or Ralph Ireton) was a medieval Bishop of Carlisle.

Life

He was a canon of the Augustinian Guisborough Priory sometime before 1257. Between 1257 and 1261 he was elected prior of Guisborough.Summerson "Irton , Ralph of (d. 1292)" "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography" [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/14454 Online Edition] accessed 20 November 2007] He was elected to the see of Carlisle on 14 December 1278. However, King Edward I objected to the election because no new license had been obtained from the king after William de Rotherfeld refused the see. Ralph appealed to Pope Nicholas III and the election was quashed, however Nicholas then provided Ralph to the see and he was consecrated before 9 April 1280.

Ralph imposed taxation in his diocese to secure the completion of Carlisle Cathedral. He also served Edward as a diplomat in the negotiations over the proposed marriage of the future Edward II to Margaret, the Maid of Norway, which never came to pass after Margaret's death soon after the marriage was arranged. He died on 1 March 1292Fryde "Handbook of British Chronology" p. 235] while attending a parliament at London, from a burst vein. His will provided that most of his belongings be left to his successors at Carlisle. He was buried in his cathedral, but his tomb was destroyed soon after his burial by a fire in the cathedral.
