John de Ufford

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

John de Ufford or John de Offord (died May 2 or June 7, 1349) was chancellor—head of the royal administration—to Edward III. He held the position of Dean of Lincoln. After the death of Archbishop John de Stratford, Edward chose his chancellor for Archbishop of Canterbury, though the canons of the chapter had elected Thomas Bradwardine, the King's trusted confessor, a great intellectual and diplomat. John de Ufford was nominated to the See by Papal Bull dated 28 September, 1348 and resigned the Great Seal he held as Chancellor. Any developing contention between the chapter and the king was rendered a dead issue when John de Ufford, already aged and infirm, was carried off by the Black Death, before being consecrated.
