Maurice was Archdeacon of Le Mans before being named Chancellor in about 1078.
[2] He was nominated to the see of London on 25 December 1085 and consecrated in 1086, possibly on 5 April.
[1] In 1087, after a widespread fire, Maurice began rebuilding St Paul's Cathedral, possibly separate from the Anglo-Saxon church.
In 1109 the cathedral was used for the consecration of the new archbishop of York, but it was probably not finished until about 1190.
