Cary, James

Cary, James an English prelate of the 14th and 15th centuries, was born at Cockington, Devonshire, and, while in Rome, was made bishop of Lichfield. On his journey towards England he met the pope at Florence, and received the see of Exeter in exchange; yet Cary enjoyed neither, dying and being buried at Florence in 1419.
