Geoffrey de Burgh (Шаблон:IPAc-en; Шаблон:Respell; Шаблон:IPA-fr; Шаблон:Circa 1180 – 8 December 1228) was a medieval English cleric who was Archdeacon of Norwich (1200–1225), Bishop of Ely (1215–1219, 1225–1228) and the brother of William de Burgh and Hubert de Burgh, 1st Earl of Kent.

Life

Geoffrey de Burgh was the younger brother of William de Burgh and Hubert de Burgh, Earl of Kent.[1] He was born no later than 1180 or so (based on his appointment as archdeacon in 1200). The name of his father is not known, but his mother's name was Alice and the family was from Norfolk and was of knightly status.[1] His family are likely to be from Burgh next Aylsham in Norfolk.

Geoffrey was Canon of Salisbury Cathedral and Treasurer of the Exchequer before being named Archdeacon of Norwich (1200).[2] He was elected to the see of Ely (1215), but the election was quashed by Pope Honorius III before May 1219 due to a competing election with Robert of York.[3] The pope quashed both elections, and ordered a new election: the monks chose the Cistercian John (Abbot of Fountains Abbey).[1]

Geoffrey was once more elected to Ely (June 1225).[3] He owed his election to his brother, Hubert (who was Justiciar of England at the time).[1] He was consecrated Bishop of Ely (29 June 1225) and died three years later (between 8 December and 17 December 1228).[4] He was buried in Ely Cathedral in the north choir, though there is no surviving tomb or monument.[5] Besides his brothers, he also had a nephew, Thomas Blunville, who Hubert had elected to the see of Norwich in 1226.[1]

Roger of Wendover told the story of a Geoffrey, Archdeacon of Norwich, who was a victim of King John of England's cruelty: Geoffrey was thrown into prison and fitted with a lead cloak and starved to death. However, this cannot be Geoffrey de Burgh since the bishop died many years after John's death. The historian Sidney Painter suggested that the real victim may have been another Geoffrey of Norwich, known to be a justice of the Jews.[6]
