writers, both ancient and modern, to identify him with the well-known schoolman, Adam du Petit Pont, also a canon of Paris and in his day a prominent theologian and disputant. But this cannot be reconciled with the account given by Gerald of Wales of the friendship between him and the

(1802 - 1897), dean of S. Davids and antiquary

bishop
Vaughan's chapel and the ante-chapels. He died 25 June 1897.

endeavour. Anarawd again appears in association with the Northerners in 1140, when Owain and Cadwaladr appealed to
bishop
Bernard to support them in their opposition to the appointment of Meurig as
bishop
of Bangor; and proposed a conference at Aberdovey to which the Southern leader should be invited. This harmony was rudely broken in 1143, when Anarawd was treacherously murdered by the war band of
ANIAN
(d. 1306?), bishop of Bangor
Anian acted in close accord with him. He was an arbitrator for the prince under the agreement concluded with the earl of Gloucester in Cantref Selyf in Brecknock on 27 September 1268. He joined the
bishop
of St Asaph in negotiating a settlement between Llywelyn and his brother David at Berriw in 1269. Another compact in which he was concerned was that made in April 1272 between the prince and his
ANIAN
(d. 1266), bishop of St Asaph
He succeeded to the see on the death of Hywel ab Ednyfed (died 1247). The Middle Country was at the time under the control of the Crown, and both Einion himself and his chapter formally conceded, on 15 September 1249, the right of the king to authorize an election and to approve the choice, as in the case of an English bishopric. Before 27 September the
bishop
elect had done homage and had by
ANIAN
(d. 1293), bishop of St Asaph
He was not the immediate successor of Anian I, for in 1267 a certain John, of whom nothing is known, was consecrated to the see. By 5 January 1268 he was dead; on 24 September of that year it was announced that the royal assent had been given to the election of Anian, prior of the Dominican convent of Rhuddlan, as
bishop
of St Asaph. On 21 October he was consecrated at Southwark by archbishop
ASAPH
(fl. c. 600), reputed founder of the see of St Asaph
singled out as his successor and who was accordingly consecrated
bishop
in his stead, when he returned to Strathclyde. Whatever may underlie this story, it is noteworthy that there is no local commemoration of Cyndeyrn, while Asaph's name is preserved in Llanasa, Pantasa, and Ffynnon Asa, all in northern Flintshire. His festival day is 1 May; the Breviary of Aberdeen has an office for him. Nothing is
ASSER
(d. 909), bishop and scholar
He is known almost entirely from what he tells us of himself in his life of king Alfred. He belonged to the clerical community of S. Davids, where he was brought up and educated, being a relative of
bishop
Nobis, who died in 873. In due course, he succeeded to the see and therewith acquired a reputation for scholarship, which spread beyond the borders of Wales. Thus it came about that in or

pronounced the
bishop
of Ross - ambassador from Mary the Queen of Scots with whom he is said to have sympathized (Aubrey, Lives, 15; Hist. MSS. Com., Cent., i, 542) - amenable to English courts in respect of his intrigues against Elizabeth, and many of his decisions in maritime law (especially on questions arising out of the naval war with Spain) had important international bearings; he was also concerned
BANKES, Sir JOHN ELDON
(1854 - 1946), judge
Born at Northop, Flint, 17 April 1854, son of John Scott Bankes of Soughton Hall, a great-grandson of John Scott (Lord Chancellor Eldon); he was also a lineal descendant of John Wynne,
bishop
of St. Asaph, whose daughter Margaret married Henry Bankes, and whose Soughton estate thus became the seat of the Bankes family. J. E. Bankes went to Eton and Christ Church (he rowed for Oxford), was called
