• Notes

  From Wikipedia: He held the prebend of Calne in the diocese of Salisbury before becoming treasurer of Salisbury by 13 January 1239. By January 1246 he was Dean of Lincoln. His father Richard had been a royal judge. Henry's brother Robert of Lexinton was also a judge, and his brother John was a knight and clerk of the royal household, at various times seneschal, envoy, and keeper of the seals. Another brother was Stephen of Lexington, a Cistercian monk and abbot of Clairvaux abbey. Henry was elected to the see of Lincoln on either 21 or 30 December 1253 and consecrated on 17 May 1254, at London or possibly at Lambeth.
