Archbishop William Laud became Archbishop of Canterbury, but was previously Bishop of St Davids between 1621 and 1626. He was beheaded in 1645 during the Civil War. Gerald of Wales aspired to be Bishop of St Davids, and was nominated, but the election was never confirmed. (ObjectID=2415 ImageID=6127) Original File Name=_MG_4116.jpgRecord added by Martin Crampin.
