Life
John was a nephew of Walter of Coutances, Bishop of Lincoln and was treasurer of the diocese of Lisieux before his uncle appointed him Archdeacon of Oxford sometime before December of 1184. He also was dean of Rouen, and retained the treasurership of Lisieux while archdeacon.[1]
John was elected in January 1196 and consecrated on 20 October 1196. He died on 24 September 1198[2] or on 25 September. His death was commemorated on 24 September.[3]
John should not be confused with a different John of Coutances who, in the 11th–12th century, wrote a chronicle of the Church at Coutances, France.
