Presum. to be identified with Osbern, chapl. of king Henry I, who occ. 3 Sept. 1101 (Regesta 11 nos. 544, 548). Possibly brother of Ranulph Flambard, bp. of Durham (preb. of Totenhall) (cf. Chron.

Occ. in cats. between Ranulph Patin and Gilbert Banastre, 'Ricardus archiepiscopus'. Certainly not to be identified with Richard of Dover, abp. of Canterbury (1174-84), who was Ben. monk.

Prob. transf. to unident. preb. before May 1245.

[?M.] Silvester [?de Everdon]
