The king, being incensed at this conduct, gave the archdeaconry of Richmond to Roger of Saint Edmund's, his clerk, which the archbishop of York had previously given to Master Honorius, his clerk ; who, although he had received the fealty of the clergy of the said archdeaconry by command of the archbishop, and the archbishop had, by his letters, generally given a command to the like effect to the whole chapter of York, ordering them, in virtue of their obedience, to receive the said Honorius and instai him, had still been rejected, Simon of Apulia opposing him on the ground that the archbishop had not made especial mention of him in his letters as being dean of the said church.
