| Summary: | Edmund Lacy, a doctor of divinity in the University of Oxford, was translated by papal provision on 5 July 1420 from the see of Hereford to that of Exeter, vacant by the death of John Catrick at Florence at the Holy See. He was then aged about fifty, and he continued for thirty-five years as bishop of Exeter until his death at Chudleigh on 18 September 1455. Previously he had been a fellow of University College, Oxford, its bursar in 1396–7 and master in 1398–9. He appears to have kept a room in the college at an annual rent of one mark until 1406–7, and he maintained a fruitful association with the society until his death. His service of the king, both at home and abroad, was rewarded first with the bishopric of Hereford, to which he was consecrated at Windsor on 18 April 1417, in the presence of king Henry V, and then with the richer see of Exeter. He entered his diocese on 17 March 1422, not long before king Henry died. From then until his own death his absences were of the briefest. |
