Everard (or Everard of Calne; died probably 1146) was a medieval Bishop of Norwich.

Life

[edit]

Everard was from Calne in Wiltshire. He was a royal chaplain and held prebends in the diocese of London as well as an archdeacon in the diocese of Salisbury.[1]

Everard was consecrated on 12 June 1121. He resigned the see in 1145 to be a monk at the Cistercian monastery of Fontenay in the Côte-d'Or in France.[1]

Everard died on 12 October probably in 1146.[2] He was buried at Fontenay before 21 September 1147.[1]
