Richard de Beaumis II (or Richard de Belmis II) was a medieval Bishop of London.
[edit] Life
His father was Robert de Beaumis.[1] The family came from Beaumais-sur-Dive in the Calvados region of Normandy. He was a nephew of Richard de Beaumis, Bishop of London from 1108 to 1127,[2] as well as the brother of Richard Ruffus, who was archdeacon of Essex.[1] He held the prebend of Caddington Major in the diocese of London before being named Archdeacon of Middlesex by 1127.[3]
He was probably elected to the see of London in the spring of 1152, and was ordained a priest on September 20, 1152.[2] He was consecrated on September 28, 1152. He died on May 4, 1162.[4]
