Roger Walden
*** Shopping-Tip: Roger Walden
'''Roger Walden''' (d.
1406),
England English treasurer and church figure.
Little is now known of his birth nor of his early years. He had some connection with the
Channel Islands, and resided for some time in
Jersey. He then held livings in
Yorkshire and in
Leicestershire before he became archdeacon of Winchester in
1387. His days, however, were by no means fully occupied with his ecclesiastical duties, and in 1387 also he was appointed treasurer of
Calais, holding about the same time other positions in this neighbourhood.
In
1395, after having served
Richard II of England Richard II as secretary, Walden became treasurer of England, adding the deanery of York to his numerous other benefices. In 1397 he was chosen
Archbishop of Canterbury in succession to
Thomas Arundel, who had just been banished from the realm, but he lost this position when the new king
Henry IV of England Henry IV restored Arundel in 1399, and after a short imprisonment he passed into retirement, being, as he himself says, "in the dust and under feet of men."
In
1405, through Arundel's influence, he was elected
Bishop of London, and he died at
Much Hadham in
Hertfordshire on
January 6 1406. An ''Historia Mundi'', the manuscript of which is in the
British Museum, is sometimes regarded as the work of Walden; but this was doubtless written by an earlier writer.
See JH Wylie, ''History of England under Henry IV'' vol. iii. (1896).
