90px | Leofric (bef.1016-1072), Bishop of Exeter 1050-1072.
Leofric became Bishop of Crediton and Cornwall in 1046, but in 1050, at his request, the diocesan seat for Devon was moved to Exeter. Blazon: The arms of the diocese of Exeter impaled with Argent, a lion rampant Gules crowned Or. Leofric lived before the advent of heraldry and so his arms are later attributions. The arms usually attributed to him are a mitre on a black cross patonce on a gold field (as can be seen on the Great East Window). |
