Robert de Chuancy (or Robert de Chaury, Robert Chaury, or Robert Chause) was a medieval Bishop of Carlisle.

Life

His origins were probably in Chawreth in Essex, from which he took his name. Beyond the fact that he was illegitimate, nothing else is known of his background.Summerson "Chaury, Robert (d. 1278) and Thomas Vipont (d. 1256)" "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography" [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/95124 Online Edition revised October 2007] accessed 20 November 2007] He was probably controller of the queen's wardrobe for Queen Eleanor of Provence by April of 1243. He was named rector of Badsworth on 26 January 1255 and was named as Archdeacon of Bath between 26 January 1255 and 22 January 1257 [http://british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=34351 British History Online Archdeacons of Bath] accessed on 20 October 2007]

Following the death of Thomas Vipont, the cathedral chapter of Carlisle Cathedral first elected Robert of St Agatha, who refused the office. The chapter then elected Robert de Chauncy, who was a royal clerk as well as holding the above ecclesiastical offices. He was elected to the see of Carlisle about 12 February 1257, and consecrated on 14 April 1258.Fryde "Handbook of British Chronology" p. 235] He received a dispensation for illegitimacy from Pope Alexander IV on 19 June 1257. [http://british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=33856 British History Online Bishops of Carlisle] accessed on 20 October 2007] He remained in the king's service, and went with the king to France in 1259. He was also with the king when Henry was held captive by Simon de Montfort in 1264. However, he never gained the favor of King Edward I, Henry's successor. He was active in the affairs of his diocese, working to improve the morals of the laity and the clergy alike. He died in September or October of 1278. He was buried in Carlisle Cathedral, and his tomb survived the fire in that church in 1292.
