Life
Clive's nationality and origins are unknown. He was a royal clerk or chaplain for King Henry I of England before being nominated to the see of Hereford. He was consecrated on 26 December 1115 at Canterbury by Archbishop Ralph d'Escures. There is some evidence that he cut back the number of prebends for the cathedral chapter, as well as attempting to improve the episcopal manors. The only document dating from his time as bishop is his profession of obedience to Archbishop Ralph.
