<p> (styled [[Thomas]] Devonius), was born at Exeter, where he received a liberal education. He became archdeacon of Exeter, but soon resigned, and became a monk in the Cistercian abbey of Ford, in Devonshire, of which in a few years he was elected abbot. In 1181 he was made bishop of Worcester, and in 1184 Henry | <p> (styled [[Thomas]] Devonius), was born at Exeter, where he received a liberal education. He became archdeacon of Exeter, but soon resigned, and became a monk in the Cistercian abbey of Ford, in Devonshire, of which in a few years he was elected abbot. In 1181 he was made bishop of Worcester, and in 1184 Henry II translated him to the see of Canterbury. [[Urban]] III afterward made [[Baldwin]] his legate for the diocese of Canterbury. On September, 3,1189, Baldwin performed the ceremony of crowning [[Richard]] I at Westminster; and in the same year, when that king's natural brother, Geoffrey, was translated from the see of [[Lincoln]] to York, he successfully asserted the pre-eminence of the see of Canterbury, forbidding the bishops of [[England]] to receive consecration from any other than the [[Archbishop]] of Canterbury. In 1190 he made a progress into [[Wales]] to preach the Crusade; and in the same year, having held a council at Westminster, he followed King Richard I to the [[Holy]] Land. He embarked at [[Dover]] March 25,1191, abandoning the important duties of his station, and, after suffering many hardships on his voyage, arrived at [[Acre]] during the siege, where he died, November 20, in the same year, and where his body was interred. [[Bishop]] [[Tanner]] has given a list of a great many treatises by Archbishop Baldwin, which remain in manuscript, and has noticed the different libraries in which they are deposited. The most important were collected by [[Bertrand]] Tissier, and published, in 1662, in the fifth volume of the "Scriptores Biblioth. Cisterciensis." See Engl. Cyclopedia; Godwin, De Pros. Ang. p. 79; Collier, Eccl. Hist. 2:374 sq. </p> | ||
