    Notes 
    • Morgan was provost of Beverley minster in 1201 and Bishop-elect of Durham in 1213.
      According to Given-Wilson and Curteis, pgs 9, 99, 179: Morgan was added to the list of identifiable bastards of Henry II, suggesting that the reason this illegitimate son of Henry II is so little known is that the King died before Morgan was old enough to profit from his father's assistance and influence in his career. Having been elected to the see of Durham, Morgan in 1213 requested and was refused papal confirmation to the see because of his illegitimacy. It also was stated that "Pope Innocent" offered to confirm Morgan as Bishop of Durham if Morgan would swear that he was the son of Nest and her husband Ralph Bloet, rather than the son of Nest and Henry II. Morgan refused to deny his parentage.
