William Doune

William Doune was a 14th-century English priest.[1]

Doune was ordained in 1342. He was Archdeacon of Leicester[2] from 1354 until his death in 1361.[3] He was a noted Pluralist. In 1860 his will was discovered,[4] and it shows a man efficient in collecting his dues but whose conscience sometimes troubled him.
