Richard de Beaumis (or Richard de Belmis I) was a medieval Bishop of London.
[edit] Life
His family came from Beaumais-sur-Dive in the Calvados region of Normandy.[1] He was elected to the see of London on May 24, 1108.[2] His ordination as a priest took place on June 14, 1108, a little over a month before he was consecrated as a bishop on July 26, 1108.[1] He served as the justiciar forKing Henry I of England at Shrewsbury, where he oversaw Welsh affairs.[3] He died in 1127, with his death being commemorated on January 16, so he probably died on that date. His nephew Richard de Beaumis II was later Bishop of London[1] and another nephew was archdeacon of Essex in the diocese of London.[4] He had two sons, Walter and William. Walter was a canon of London, holding the prebend of Newington,[5] and William was Archdeacon of London.[6]
