Theobald of Bec (French: Thibaut du Bec; c. 1090 – 18 April 1161), sometimes known as Tedbald, was archbishop of Canterbury from 1139 to 1161. He was a Norman; his exact birth date is unknown. Some time in the late 11th or early 12th century Theobald became a monk at the Abbey of Bec, rising to the position of abbot in 1137. King Stephen of England chose him to be Archbishop of Canterbury in 1138. Canterbury's claim to primacy over the Welsh ecclesiastics was resolved during Theobald's term of office when Pope Eugene III decided in 1148 in Canterbury's favour. Theobald faced challenges to his authority from a subordinate bishop, Henry of Blois, Bishop of Winchester and King Stephen's younger brother, and his relationship with King Stephen was turbulent. On one occasion Stephen forbade him from attending a papal council, but Theobald defied the king, which resulted in the confiscation of his property and temporary exile. Theobald's relations with his cathedral clergy and the monastic houses in his archdiocese were also difficult.

Thanks very much AnnCardiff for that info about Theobold, amazing actually, I didn't know that! I'm getting very interested in my family link with Kent. Perhaps the Theobold you mentioned above is linked to my family.

If Mary Farley born abt 1700 in Kent, links up with George Farley born abt 1617, father of William Farley born abt 1643 who married Ann Stedman, also a Fabyan Farley, who married a Jane Hungerford, then is some family, wow! Most of them it seems were born in a place called Molash in Kent, and some of the others were born in York. So Mary Farley married William Theobold, her parents were Henry Farley born abt 1676, and Ann Bradbridge, Henry parents were: William Farley born abt 1643 Kent, and Ann Stedman.Then it goes to William parents being: George Farley born abt 1617 and Beatrice Snow, then I think George parents were: Fabyan Farley and Jane Hungerford. If this is the correct family line... it would be brill, because Fabyan Farley and Jane Hungerford, come from a very interesting family line... Just need to confirm it.
