Geoffrey Ridel (died August 1189) was the nineteenth Lord Chancellor of England, from 1162 to 1173.
By 1169 he was urging King Louis VII of France to no longer give refuge to Becket.
[11] He continued to be involved in governmental affairs, attending councils and escorting King Henry II's daughter Joanna to Provence when the princess was sent to Sicily to marry King William II of Sicily.
[10][12] After his death, King Richard I of England confiscated his personal property,[13] because Geoffrey had died without a will.
[14] The bishop's estate at his death included over 3000 marks in coins, as well as agricultural supplies and gold and silver plate.
