Henry Burghersh (1292 – 4 December 1340) English bishop and chancellor was a younger son of Robert de Burghersh 1st Baron Burghersh (died 1305) and a nephew of Bartholomew Lord Badlesmere and was educated in France.On 27 May 1320 owing to Badlesmere’s influence Pope John XXII appointed Burghersh bishop of Lincoln in spite of the fact that the chapter had already made an election to the vacant bishopric and he was consecrated bishop on 20 July 1320.
