Thomas Blunville (or Thomas de Blundeville; died 16 August 1236) was a medieval Bishop of Norwich.
Blunville was a royal clerk and administered the see of Norwich after the death of the previous bishop, Pandulf Verraccio. He was elected in October 1226 with royal assent to his election coming on 5 November 1226. He was ordained a priest on 19 December 1226 and was consecrated on 20 December 1226. [1]
Blunville was a nephew of Geoffrey de Burgh, the Bishop of Ely.
Blunville died on 16 August 1236. [2]
Pandulf Verraccio, whose first name may also be spelled Pandolph or Pandulph, was a Roman ecclesiastical politician, papal legate to England and bishop of Norwich. Pandulf was born in Rome, and first came to England in 1211, when he was commissioned by Innocent III to negotiate with King John. He is often erroneously called Cardinal Pandulph or Pandulph Masca due to being confused with Cardinal Pandolfo da Lucca, who himself was confused with Cardinal Pandulf of Pisa and erroneously given the Pisan family name Masca. His authentic surname may be rendered Verraccio, Verracchio or Verracclo.
