Tags: Christian Bishop.
Peter (died 1085) was a medieval Bishop of Lichfield. He moved the see from Lichfield to Chester in 1075.Peter had been a royal chaplain before being nominated to the see of Lichfield. Nothing else is known of his background although presumably he was a Norman as were most of King William I of England’s episcopal appointments. He may have been a royal clerk of King Edward the Confessor although one charter of 1065 which lists his name is a forgery.
