Geoffrey Blythe (died c. 1530) was the
Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield.[1]
Blythe was born at
Vladislas II, King of Hungary and Bohemia, and on his return was rewarded with the bishopric of Coventry and Lichfield. From 1512 to 1524 he was appointed president of the Council of Wales and the Marches
.
Blythe's elder brother
Bishops' House in Sheffield is said to be so named because it was built for the brothers, though there is no evidence that they ever lived there.[5]
