Ralph Foliot

Ralph Foliot (died c. 1198) was a medieval English clergyman and royal justice.

He first appears in a charter of his uncle in 1144, while Gilbert was at Hereford, and Ralph is described as "nepote episcopi" or the "bishop's nephew."

[1] He also served Henry on diplomatic missions, once meeting with papal legates, and another time accompanying William Marshall to Paris.

Other rewards included a portion of the tithes from Teilleul and a church in Worcestershire that was controlled by Tewkesbury Abbey.

[1] Foliot left 20 books to Hereford Cathedral on his death, including glosses on the Bible, Honorius of Autun's Gemma Animae, and Peter Lombard's Sentences.
