  • William Giffard († 1129 in Winchester) war der sechste Lordkanzler und Siegelbewahrer von England (1093–1101) unter den Königen Wilhelm II. Rufus und Heinrich I. (de)
  • William Giffard fue el presidente de la Cámara de los Lores de la Inglaterra de Guillermo II y Enrique I, de 1093 a 1101. El 3 de agosto de 1100 se convirtió en obispo de Winchester por nominación de Enrique I. Fue uno de los obispos electos de los cuales el arzobispo Anselmo de Canterbury rehusó consagrar en 1101. Durante la disputa de las investiduras Giffard estaba en términos amistosos con Anselmo y trajo sobre sí una sentencia de destierro al declinar aceptar la consagración de Gerard como arzobispo de York en 1103. Él fue, sin embargo, uno de los obispos que presionó a Anselmo en 1106, para dar paso al rey. Fue finalmente consagrado después del acuerdo de 1107 el 11 de agosto y se convirtió en amigo cercano del arzobispo Anselmo. Como obispo, ayudó a los primeros cistercienses a asentarse en Inglaterra cuando en 1128 trajo monjes de la abadía francesa de L´Aumone para establecerse en la Abadía de Waverley. También restauró la Catedral de Winchester con gran magnificencia. Entre sus acciones como obispo está la refundación de la casa religiosa de Taunton. Giffard murió poco antes del 25 de enero de 1129, fecha en que fue sepultado. (es)

Giffard was the son of Walter Giffard, Lord of Longueville and Ermengarde, daughter of Gerard Flaitel. He also held the office of Dean of Rouen prior to his election as bishop. On 3 August 1100 he became bishop of Winchester by nomination of Henry I. Henry nominated him probably in an attempt to win the support of the clergy in Henry's bid to claim the throne directly after the death of William Rufus. He was one of the bishops elect whom Archbishop Anselm of Canterbury refused to consecrate in 1101 as having been nominated and invested by the lay power. During the investitures dispute Giffard was on friendly terms with Anselm, and drew upon himself a sentence of banishment through declining to accept consecration from Gerard Archbishop of York in 1103. He was, however, one of the bishops who pressed Anselm, in 1106, to give way to the king. He was finally consecrated after the settlement of 1107 on 11 August and became a close friend of Archbishop Anselm. As bishop, William aided the first Cistercians to settle in England, when in 1128 he brought monks from L'Aumône Abbey in France to settle at Waverley Abbey. He also restored Winchester Cathedral with great magnificence. Among Giffard's actions as bishop was the refounding of a religious house at Taunton and the staffing of it with Austin canons. The canons were drawn from Merton Priory. He was known for the close and good relations that he had with the monks of his cathedral chapter, sharing their meals and sleeping with them instead of in his own room. Giffard died shortly before 25 January 1129, the date he was buried. (en)
