editI believe he should be named "Eustace, Bishop of Ely". Anyone object? Ealdgyth | Talk 01:21, 5 March 2008 (UTC)
- Not sure about this one. He was known as the Dean of Salisbury while he served as Lord Chancellor. Google hits return more for Dean of Salisbury than they do for Bishop of Ely. Common name might be more appropriate, like for example Robert Stewart, Viscount Castlereagh. PeterSymonds | talk 08:47, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
- Well, Handbook of British Chronology names him as "Bishop of Ely" at his chancellor entry. His Oxford Dictionary of National Biography just names him "Eustace". Fasti Ecclesiae Anglicanae 1066-1300 calls him Eustace. Warren's King John, Turner's King John and Gillingham's Richard I all refer to him as bishop of Ely. I'd have to say the common scholarly name is either Eustace alone (which won't work on Wikipedia) or Eustace, Bishop of Ely. Ealdgyth - Talk 13:53, 8 April 2008 (UTC)
