Godfrey (died 1135) was a medieval Bishop of Bath.

Life

Godfrey was a native of Leuven and was chaplain to Adeliza of Louvain, second wife of King Henry I of England. Godfrey served as chaplain both before and after her marriage to the king.[1] He came with her to England when she married Henry I.[2]

Godfrey was nominated 25 March 1123, and consecrated 26 August 1123[3] by Archbishop William de Corbeil of Canterbury at St. Paul's London.[1] During the last years of King Henry I's rule, Godfrey was often at the king's court and received a number of charters from the king.[4]

Godfrey died on 16 August 1135[3] and was buried in Bath Abbey near the north altar.[1]
