Robert Wyvil (or Wyvill or Wyville ) was a medieval Bishop of Salisbury .
Wyvil was keeper of the Privy Seal of Edward, duke of Aquitaine in 1326 when he was named on 26 October Lord Privy Seal , which office he held until the early part of 1327. [1]
Wyvil was nominated to the see of Salisbury on 16 April 1330 and consecrated on 15 July 1330. He had a reputation for stressing his authority and defending the rights of his see: Wyvil was the first Salisbury bishop to use 'Sarum' on his seal, [2] issued a mandate against a man impersonating a hermit, [3] and nearly used a knight in a trial by combat to maintain the cathedral's ownership of Sherborne Castle . [4]
He died on 4 September 1375. [5]
