Reynelm[a] (died 1115) was a medieval Bishop of Hereford.
Life
Reynelm's origins are unknown, but
Gerard, the Archbishop of York,[4] and the king exiled Reynelm from England in retaliation.[5] Reynelm resigned the temporalities back into the king's control before 29 March 1103 because of concerns over having received investiture by the king.[2]
Reynelm was consecrated by Archbishop Anselm on 11 August 1107,[2] at Canterbury. Reynelm made a written profession of obedience to Anselm also.[6] The profession is the only charter or other document to survive from his episcopate.[1] He probably was responsible for the rebuilding of Hereford Cathedral as a Romanesque cathedral. Reynelm also assisted at the consecration of Llanthony Priory in the see of Llandaff in 1108.[1]
Reynelm died in October 1115, either on the 27th or the 28th,[7] of gout.[4] He was buried in Hereford Cathedral, but the effigy on his tomb dates from the 14th century.[1]
