Something wrong?About this person
Prior to his incumbency, the see of Lisbon was occupied by a Bishop of the Mozarabic Rite, that was killed by the pillaging crusaders, as described by the crusader monk Osbernus in De expugniatione Lyxbonensi . His antecedents are unclear, but it seems probable that he was a younger son of the well-known Anglo-Norman de Hastings family who held the Lordship of the Manor of Ashill in Norfolk, and who, at this time, were Hereditary Stewards of the Abbey of Bury St Edmunds.
