Author: William of Durham

Dating: A master of theology in Paris by c. 1220-3, William left during the strike of 1229. He returned to England and became rector of Wearmouth. There is some doubt about the claims that he was archdeacon of Durham and later bishop-elect of Rouen (see Charles E. Mallet, A History of the University of Oxford, vol. 1 [London, 1924; reprinted 1968], p 84). He left a substantial endowment to support scholars as Oxford, a bequest that later formed the basis for University College at Oxford.
