'''Saint William of York''' (c. 1090 – June 8, 1154), also known as William FitzHerbert or William of Thwayt, was an English [[Saints|saint]] and twice Archbishop of York, serving from 1141 to 1147 and 1153 to 1154. Born in [[York]] to Herbert of Winchester, treasurer to [[Henry I]], and Emma, possibly a half-sister of King William, he was likely a nephew of [[King Stephen]]. William rose through ecclesiastical ranks, becoming canon and treasurer of York by 1130 and archdeacon of the East Riding (1125–1133). Elected Archbishop in 1141, his appointment was contested by Cistercians and archdeacons over alleged simony and royal influence. Consecrated in 1143 after papal clearance, he was deposed in 1147 by [[Pope Eugene III]], a Cistercian, in favor of Henry Murdac. William lived as a monk in [[Winchester]] and Sicily until 1153, when Murdac and Eugene III died, allowing his restoration by [[Pope Anastasius IV]]. Welcomed back to York, he died a month later, possibly poisoned, though unproven. Miracles at his tomb, including healings and resurrections, led to his canonization in 1227 by [[Pope Honorius III]]. His feast day is [[June 8]]. He is patron of York, pregnant women, craftsmen, prisoners, and bachelors.<ref name="web1">{{cite web |title=Saint William of York |url=https://www.franciscanmedia.org/saint-of-the-day/saint-william-of-york |website=Franciscan Media |publisher=Franciscan Media |access-date=2025-05-14 |date=2022-06-08}}</ref><ref name="web2">{{cite web |title=William of York |url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_of_York |website=Wikipedia |publisher=Wikimedia Foundation |access-date=2025-05-14}}</ref><ref name="web6">{{cite web |title=St. William |url=https://www.newadvent.org/cathen/15628c.htm |website=Catholic Encyclopedia |publisher=New Advent |access-date=2025-05-14}}</ref> | '''Saint William of York''' (c. 1090 – June 8, 1154), also known as William FitzHerbert or William of Thwayt, was an English [[Saints|saint]] and twice Archbishop of York, serving from 1141 to 1147 and 1153 to 1154.
