The Provost of St John's, Beverley is a position said to have been created by Archbishop Thomas of Bayeux (1070–1100). The provost had responsibility for the administration of the lands owned by the minster and for the general revenues of the chapter. He was an external officer with authority in the government of the church, but with no stall in the choir and no vote in chapter.

He had been appointed by the widowed Lucia, Countess of Kent as a deputy to regulate her dower. He was given a role in the visit to France of Queen Catherine of Valois. [5] In the reign of Henry IV, Kinwolmarsh was Dean of St-Martins le-Grand. [6] He is noted as particularly active in fulfilling his duties as a royal councillor and administrator . [7] [8] [9]

Lucia Visconti was a Milanese aristocrat who was the Countess of Kent by marriage from 1407 to 1424. She was one of fifteen legitimate children of Bernabò Visconti, who, along with his brother Galeazzo, was Lord of Milan. Her father negotiated for his infant daughter to marry Louis II of Anjou but Bernabò was deposed and the negotiations dropped. As a teenager, it was then intended that she marry the English noble Henry Bolingbroke, whom she had met as a girl, but after he was banished to France, the marriage negotiations were suspended. She was briefly wedded in 1399 to the future Elector of Saxony Fredrick of Thuringia, before the marriage was annulled.
