• Notes

  At the death of her brother in 1175, her son Gerald was unanimously elected Bishop of St. David's by the Welsh and English canons of the diocese. By the time he was 13 years old his father and uncle, then the Bishop of St. David's, had taken to calling him "the little Bishop." Soon he was sent away to a monastry to begin his religious education early. But King Henry II immediately sensed the political implications and would not accept this able and ambitious young man (Gerald was 29 years old) as a potential Archbishop. Five years before Beckett had proved troublesome to Henry and he was murdered in Canterbury Cathedral.
