William de Turbeville

William de Turbeville (or William Turbe;

Turbeville was present at the Easter synod of 1144 when Godwin Stuart falsely alleged that his nephew, William of Norwich, a boy of about 12, had been murdered by the Jews of Norwich during the preceding Holy Week. When Turbeville became bishop in 1146 or early 1147 he propagated the cult of the "boy-martyr". On four occasions he had the boy's remains transferred to more honourable places, and in 1168 erected a chapel in his honour in Thorpe Wood, where the boy's body was said to have been found. He persuaded Thomas of Monmouth, a monk of Norwich priory, to write The Life and Miracles of St William of Norwich about 1173, the only extant authority for the legend of William, which is now commonly discredited.

Turbeville attended the Council of Rheims in 1148.

Turbeville died on 16 January 1174
