Richard de la More was a medieval Bishop of Winchester elect.

Life

He was subdean of the diocese of Lincoln as well as Archdeacon of Winchester from before September 11 1280. [http://british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=33879 British History Online Archdeacons of Winchester] accessed on November 2, 2007]

He was elected to the see of Winchester on November 15 1280 but resigned in June of 1282 before being consecrated.Powicke "Handbook of British Chronology" p. 258] Archbisop John Peckham of Canterbury withheld his confirmation of the election because Richard was a pluralist. Pope Martin IV also quashed the election in 1282. [http://british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=33876 British History Online Bishops of Winchester] accessed on November 2, 2007]

He still held the office of archdeacon until sometime after June 19 1283, but was only listed as subdean of Lincoln in May 3 1285. He died sometime after that date. His death was commemorated on June 16.
