Peter Quinel (or Peter de Quivel, or Quivil;^[1] c. 1230–1291) was a medieval Bishop of Exeter.

Life

Quinel was born about 1230, to Peter Quinel and his wife Helewis. He may have been educated at a university, because in 1262 he was given the title of master, which implies a university education.

He had the office of archdeacon of St David's in 1263, and later became a canon of Exeter Cathedral in 1276.^[1]

Quinel was elected between 7 August and 7 October 1280 and consecrated on 10 November 1280.^[2] His consecration took place at Canterbury Cathedral and was performed by Richard of Gravesend who was Bishop of London.^[1]

While bishop, Quinel legislated that clerics' clothes should be all one colour,^[3] gave detailed lists of the required furnishings of a church,^[4] and ordered that any uneducated clergy should be deprived of office.^[5] These were part of a set of statutes that Quinel issued in 1287 for his diocese.^[6] He also continued the rebuilding efforts at Exeter Cathedral, and was generally credited with deciding to rework the cathedral along Gothic lines.^[1]

Quinel died in October 1291, probably on the 1st.^[2] He was buried in the lady chapel in his cathedral, where his tomb slab is still extant.^[1]
