Richard de Morens (* around 1162 in Lincolnshire ; † April 9, 1242 ) was an English clergyman and church lawyer of the 12th and 13th centuries. He was also called Ricardus Anglicus, Richard of Mores, Richard de Mores, Ricardus de Mores.

Occasionally (Kuttner) he was wrongly identified with R. de Lacy (the R. stood for Robert).

Life

Richard de Morens was in Paris in 1186/87. At the end of the 12th century he received his master's degree from the University of Bologna . He taught at the law school of the University of Bologna and was archdeacon there. After returning to England he was a canon in Merton Priory and from 1202 until his death abbot of the Augustinian canons of Dunstable Abbey . He was ordained shortly before (since he was only a deacon).

He wrote an Ordo Judiciaris , which was long thought to be lost and which was published in Douai in 1851 after a manuscript was discovered. In this he proves to be a pioneer in the learned treatment of legal processes.

In 1203 he was sent to Rome by the English king to ask the Pope to mediate in the war with France. He returned with a cardinal appointed by the Pope as mediator. In 1206 (and 1228) he was a visitor to the church institutions in the Diocese of Lincoln. In 1212 he was one of the preachers for the crusade. In 1215 he attended the fourth Lateran council and spent some time on the way back at the University of Paris.

He was involved in writing the annals of Dunstable Monastery ( edited by HR Luard in the Rolls Series in 1866 ). The annals are also the main source for his biography.
