Life

His family was hereditary goldsmiths to the diocese of Ely. His parents were Salomon and Alice, and he was the eldest of three brothers. He entered the Benedictine priory of Ely sometime before 1291.Buck "Salmon, John (d. 1325)" "Oxford Dictionary of National Biography"] He was subprior of Ely Cathedral before his election to be Prior of Ely in 1292.

He was elected to the see of Ely in 1298 but King Edward I of England objected, wanting the monks to elect his chancellor John Langton instead. Each side appealed to Rome, and both elections were quashed by Pope Boniface VIII on June 5 1299.

[http://british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=33866 British History Online Bishops of Norwich] accessed on October 29, 2007] He was consecrated on November 15 1299.

In 1307 he helped arrange the marriage of the new king, Edward II of England, and in 1309 he was sent by the king to Rome to obtain the return from exile of Piers Gaveston. On March 20 1311 he was elected one of the Lords Ordainers to help King Edward II of England govern.Powell "House of Lords" p. 275 and footnote 78] Over the next few years he was often in the king's service, being sent on diplomatic missions and negotiating with the earl of Lancaster for the king.

He occupied the office of Lord Chancellor of England from 1320 to 1323.Fryde "Handbook of British Chronology" p. 86] He accompanied the king on his travels, and helped negotiate with France and Scotland. He resigned the office in 1323 due to ill health, but continued to work on the king's behalf.

He died on July 6 1325 at Folkestone while returning from a diplomatic mission in France. He was buried in Norwich Cathedral.
