Richard de Pontefract

Richard de Pontefract

Richard de Pontefract O. P. (fl. 1320) was an English Dominican friar active during the reign King Edward II. On June 25, 1320, King Edward petitioned the papacy for Richard to filled the see of Dunblane, vacant by the death of Nicholas de Balmyle. Although King Edward probably did not expect to have much luck, because of the circumstances of Wars of Scottish Independence, Edward claimed the right of patronage to Scottish sees. The vacant bishopric was eventually filled by Maurice, the Abbot of Inchaffray.
