Life

[edit]

John of Pontoise was from Pontoise in Seine-et-Oise in France, but spent much of his life in England. In 1280, he was briefly Chancellor of the University of Oxford.[2][3] He was an Archdeacon of Exeter and a papal chaplain before Pope Martin IV provided him to the see of Winchester on 9 June 1282; he was consecrated before 15 June 1282. He was enthroned at Winchester Cathedral in September 1282.[4]

In 1303, he helped negotiate the Treaty of Paris that ended the 1294–1303 Gascon War.[5]

John of Pontoise died on 4 December 1304.[4]
