Biography

De la Wyle began his career as a chaplain to Robert de Bingham, which helped him get appointed as warden of a bridge over the Avon connected with St. John's Hospital. Eventually Walter de la Wyle was elected Succentor of Salisbury,[1] one of the chief officers of a cathedral chapter, with responsibility for overseeing religious ritual in cathedral worship services. This was an especially prestigious position in Salisbury since the Sarum Rite, the order of service used at Salisbury Cathedral, was quickly becoming the most popular order of service in England. It was from the office of Succentor that Walter de la Wyle was elevated to the office of bishop on 29 January 1263 as the successor to Bishop Giles of Bridport. He was consecrated on 27 May 1263.[2]

De la Wyle died on 3 January or 4 January 1271.[2]

gollark: Row ID? I forget.
gollark: The number the uninstaller prints?
gollark: The incident report system does actually work, by the way. All incidents are logged in SPUDNET. The only ones I know of are the test ones I triggered to test the system and various incident triggers. Incidents are reported when:- one known sandbox escape is detected- banned programs (Webicity) are executed- potatOS is uninstalled- invalid disk signing key
gollark: You can't make a program to fully autonomously uninstall potatOS from within it - ignoring sandbox escapes - because while sandboxed processes can use queueEvent to fake keypresses they cannot read the output of the uninstaller. The best they can do is, I don't know, guess what the random seed was when it was generating two primes, figure out what the primes were, and queue the key/char events accordingly.
gollark: <@184468521042968577> `is_valid_lua` isn't deliberately bad, but it's also IIRC not actually used anywhere.Also, that person was bundling potatOS with some other project but wanted people to be able to remove it even more easily if they don't like it. This feature does actually work but must be enabled before installation. Weirdly enough factorizing small semiprimes is beyond many users.
