time made See also:bishop of Lincoln, retaining also the deanery of Westminster. As a See also:political adviser of the king
Williams consistently counselled moderation and compromise between the unqualified assertion of the royal See also:prerogative and the puritan views of popular liberties which were now coming to the front. Ile warned Buckingham and See also:Prince See also:Charles of the perils of their project for the See also:Spanish See also:marriage, and after their return from See also:Madrid he encountered their resentment by opposing See also:war with See also:Spain. The lord keeper's counsel of moderation was less pleasing to Charles I. than it had been to his See also:father. The new king was offended by Williams's See also:advice to proceed with caution in dealing with the See also:parliament, with the result that within a few months of Charles's See also:accession the See also:Great See also:Seal was taken from Williams. In the See also:quarrel between the king and the See also:Commons over the See also:petition of right, Williams took the popular See also:side in condemning arbitrary imprisonment by the See also:sovereign. In the See also:matter of ecclesiastical See also:administration he similarly followed a See also:middle course; but See also:lie had now to contend against the growing See also:influence of See also:Laud and the extreme high church party. A See also:case was preferred against him in the See also:Star Chamber of revealing See also:state secrets, to which was added in 1635 a See also:charge of subornation of See also:perjury, of which he had undoubtedly been guilty and for which he was condemned in 1637 to pay a See also:fine of ro,000, to be deprived of the temporalities of all his benefices, and to be imprisoned during the king's See also:pleasure. He was sent to the See also:Tower. In 1639 he was again condemned by the Star Chamber for libelling Laud, a further heavy fine being imposed for this offence. In 1641 he recovered his See also:liberty on the demand of the See also:House of Lords, who maintained that as a peer he was entitled to be summoned to parliament. When the See also:Long Parliament met, Williams was made chairman of a See also:committee of inquiry into innovations in the church; and he was one of the bishops consulted by Charles as to whether he should See also:veto the See also:bill for the See also:- ATTAINDER (from the O. Fr. ataindre, ateindre, to attain, i.e. to strike, accuse, condemn; Lat. attingere, tangere, to touch; the meaning has been greatly affected by the confusion with Fr. taindre, teindre, to taint, stain, Lat. tingere, to dye)
attainder of See also:Strafford. In See also:December 1641 the king, anxious to conciliate public See also:opinion, appointed Williams archbishop of See also:York. In the same See also:month he was one of the twelve bishops impeached by the Commons for high See also:treason and committed to the Tower. Released on an undertaking not to go to See also:Yorkshire, a promise which he did not observe, the archbishop was en-throned in York See also:Minster in See also:June 1642. On the outbreak of the See also:Civil War, after visiting Conway in the Royalist See also:interest, he joined the king at See also:- OXFORD

Oxford; he then returned to See also:Wales, and finding that See also:Sir John See also:Owen, acting on Charles's orders, had seized certain property in Conway See also:Castle that had been deposited with the archbishop for safe-keeping, he went over to the See also:Parliamentary side and assisted in the recapture of Conway Castle in See also:November 1646. Williams, who was a generous benefactor of St John's College, Cambridge, died on the 25th of March 165o.
