The priory of St Frideswide, Oxford was established as a priory of Augustinians Augustinian canons regular , in 1122. It was set up by Gwymund , chaplain to Henry I of England . It lasted to the 1520s, when it was dissolved by Cardinal Wolsey so that he could use its premises together with those of other adjacent religious houses to found a new college to be called Cardinal College. After Wolsey fell from power in 1530, King Henry VIII of England Henry VIII took over the nascent foundation, which he renamed Aedes Christi Christ Church, Oxford . The five western Bay architecture bays of the nave of the church of the Augustinian canons were demolished to make space to build the main quadrangle of the new college now called Tom Quad and the intention was to demolish the remainder of the church and replace it with a chapel on the north side of the quadrangle. That never happened and the surviving portion of the church, including the five remaining bays of the nave, became both the chapel for the new college and the cathedral for the new Diocese of Oxford which Henry VIII had separated from the Diocese of Lincoln .

She married William Montacute, 2nd Baron Montacute or Montagu . Her marriage was arranged by Eleanor of Castile , the first wife of King Edward I of England . This seems surprising, considering that Elizabeth s grandfather, Peter de Montfort , had kidnapped the young Prince Edward during the Barons Revolt of 1258&ndash 1265. Peter de Montfort regarded by some as the first Speaker of the British House of Commons Speaker of the House of Commons then died fighting against Prince Edward at the Battle of Evesham in 1265. Edward was eager to make peace with the aristocracy after the battle, and things were fairly well patched up within a few years. His wife s role in arranging the marriage was part of an elaborate system of arranged marriages designed to reinforce the power of the king and his aristocracy. Both Elizabeth and William came from wealthy families, and they donated some of their money to various causes. Lady Elizabeth was a major benefactor of Saint Frideswide s Church , now called Christ Church, Oxford Christ Church , which is the cathedral of Oxford University . Her tomb now lies between the Latin Chapel, whose construction she funded, and the Dean s Chapel, where she was originally buried under its magnificent painted ceiling now faded by time .

Peter Stokes died 1399 was an English Carmelite friar, known as an opponent of the teachings of John Wyclif . Life Stokes became a Carmelite at Hitchin , Hertfordshire . Later at the University of Oxford , he graduated there as doctor of divinity, by 1382. During the religious troubles in that year of 1382, Stokes acted as the representative of Archbishop William Courtenay in the university. During Lent he had made an ineffectual complaint against Nicholas of Hereford and in May he had a statement of Hereford s heresies drawn up by notaries. On 28 May the archbishop sent him a list of twenty four heresies extracted from Wyclif s writings, and directed him to publish it in the university. Robert Rygge , the chancellor, opposed Stokes in the matter, and on 5 June, when Philip Repington preached at the Priory of St Frideswide, Oxford Priory of St Frideswide , Stokes was prevented from publication by the implied threat of violence. On 10 June Stokes took up a position against Repington, but on the following day left Oxford at the summons of the archbishop. He had already reported what had happened in a letter to Courtenay on 6 June, and was now present in the council on 12 June, when Rygge was condemned. The royal letter of 13 July specially forbade Rygge to molest Stokes further. Stokes, however, appears to have withdrawn from Oxford he was in Hitchin, when he died on 18 July 1399. Works Stokes is credited with qu stiones , conclusiones , and lectur . He also wrote a work in defence of William Ockham , and Pr conia Sacr Scriptur . But the only one of Stokes s writings which seems to have survived is his letter to Archbishop Courtenay on 6 June 1382 it is printed in Fasciculi Zizaniorum .
