Henry of Newark (died 15 August 1299) was a medieval Archbishop of York.
Life
Nothing is known of Henry's ancestry, but he probably took his name from
Oxford University by 1270.[2] He was also a royal clerk for King Edward I of England, and was sent on many diplomatic missions for the king, including missions to France, Gueldres, and Flanders.[1]
Henry was
prebends of Holme, Strensall and Weighton in Yorkshire.[3] He was also canon of Buckland Dinan between 30 January and 2 February 1293 and also prebend of London by 28 September 1294 and a canon of Southwell.[4]
Henry was elected Archbishop of York on 7 May 1296,[5] but failed to go to Pope Boniface VIII and was consequently deprived of office. However, Boniface reinstated Henry to please King Edward I and Henry was consecrated 15 June 1298.[2] In 1297, Henry led the clergy of his diocese in approving King Edward's request for a tax on clerical incomes, in contrast to the behaviour of the bishops of the south, who led by Robert Winchelsey had refused to pay the tax.[1]
Henry died 15 August 1299[5] at York and was buried in York Minster.[2]
