Question: Which bishop founded Louth Park Abbey and served as a royal justice in Lincolnshire?
Context: George St Poll (by 1499-1558/1559), of Louth Park, Lincoln, North Carlton, and Snarford, Lincolnshire, and Lincoln's Inn, London was an English politician. Park Abbey (Dutch: "Abdij van Park" ; also Parc Abbey) is a Premonstratensian abbey in Belgium, at Heverlee just south of Leuven, in Flemish Brabant. Walter of Pattishall (died 1231/32) was an English justice and administrator.  He was the eldest son of Simon of Pattishall, Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and elder brother of High of Pattishall, Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield.  He inherited lands in Northamptonshire, Buckinghamshire, Lincolnshire, Yorkshire and elsewhere, and as a result of his marriage to Margery, daughter of Richard d'Argentan, he acquired lands in Bedfordshire.  He followed his fathers footsteps and became a justice, although with less success.  His first appointment is as an itinerant justice in the South Midlands between 1218 and 1219, followed by occasional service as a royal justice, sitting for the last time in June 1231. Richard Barre (c. 1130 – c. 1202) was a medieval English justice, clergyman and scholar.  He was educated at the law school of Bologna and entered royal service under King Henry II of England, later working for Henry's son and successor Richard I.  He was also briefly in the household of Henry's son Henry the Young King.  Barre served the elder Henry as a diplomat and was involved in a minor way with the king's quarrel with Thomas Becket, which earned Barre a condemnation from Becket.  After King Henry's death, Barre became a royal justice during Richard's reign and was one of the main judges in the period from 1194 to 1199.  After disagreeing with him earlier in his career, Barre was discharged from his judgeship during John's reign as king.  Barre was also archdeacon of Ely and the author of a work of biblical extracts dedicated to one of his patrons, William Longchamp, the Bishop of Ely and Chancellor of England. Ralph Basset (sometimes Bassett; died c. 1127) was a medieval English royal justice during the reign of King Henry I of England.  He was a native of Normandy, and may have come to Henry's notice while Henry held land in Normandy prior to becoming king.  Basset is first mentioned in documents about 1102, and from then until his death around 1127, he was frequently employed as a royal justice.  His son Richard Basset also became a royal judge. Louth Park Abbey was a Cistercian abbey in Lincolnshire, England.  It was founded in 1139 by the Bishop Alexander of Lincoln as a daughter-house of Fountains Abbey, Yorkshire. Alexander of Lincoln (died February 1148) was a medieval English Bishop of Lincoln, a member of an important administrative and ecclesiastical family.  He was the nephew of Roger of Salisbury, a Bishop of Salisbury and Chancellor of England under King Henry I, and he was also related to Nigel, Bishop of Ely.  Educated at Laon, Alexander served in his uncle's diocese as an archdeacon in the early 1120s.  Unlike his relatives, he held no office in the government before his appointment as Bishop of Lincoln in 1123.  Alexander became a frequent visitor to King Henry's court after his elevation to the episcopate, often witnessing royal documents, and he served as a royal justice in Lincolnshire. Sir Martin of Littlebury (died 1274) was a British clerk and justice.  He was first recorded in 1242 working as a Kings clerk, although it is assumed that he had been previously working for the government as he was, in 1242, awarded the Moiety of a church in Blackburn, and also given a papal indulgence in February 1245.  He was most likely a clerk in service to one of the King's justices, but there is also the possibility that he worked for the clerk of Chancery.  Before 1245 he was presented to the parish church at Kirkoswald by Thomas of Moulton, either the Thomas of Moulton who served as a royal justice or his son of the same name.  In 1250 he was made Canon of Salisbury Cathedral by William of York, another royal justice. William de Bondington († 1258) was a 13th-century bishop of Glasgow.  Before becoming bishop, William was rector of Eddleston, a prebendary of Glasgow, and archdeacon of Lothian.  From the year 1231, William was Chancellor of Scotland.  He was elected Bishop of Glasgow sometime between 19 May 1232 and June 1233.  On 11 September 1233, he was consecrated at Glasgow Cathedral by Andreas de Moravia, Bishop of Moray.  William de Bondington was a frequent witness to royal charters, and one of the most important royal officials in the reign of King Alexander II.  He probably remained chancellor until the latter king's death in 1249, and remained on the royal council until 1255.  In 1240, William and David de Bernham, Bishop of St Andrews, were summoned to Rome by Pope Gregory IX, in order to attend a general council.  The latter, however, did not go ahead, and the bishops returned home.  On 18 July 1244, William sanctioned the foundation of Crossraguel Abbey in Carrick, after Donnchadh, Earl of Carrick had given donations to Paisley Abbey for this purpose, but Paisley Abbey had merely founded a chapel and kept the balance.  Bishop William's episcopate saw continued work on the cathedral and significant expansion in the resources of the diocese.  William was a liberal benefactor to his clergy.  William died on 10 November 1258 and was buried in Melrose Abbey three days later. Louth United F.C. was a football club from Louth, Lincolnshire.  They became defunct in 2007 after running into severe financial difficulties.  Louth Town F.C. took over the running of all junior sides and no senior teams exist in the name of Louth United.  Founded in 1947, from a merger of Louth Nats and Louth Town, they had been members of the Northern Counties East League and the Central Midlands League Premier Division, but in 2007 dropped down to the Lincolnshire League.
