Geoffrey de Turville or de Tourville (died 1250) was an English-born judge and cleric in thirteenth-century Ireland, who held office as Bishop of Ossory and Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and was noted as an extremely efficient administrator. His career has been described as an excellent example of what a clerk in the royal service in that era might hope to accomplish.[1]
He was a native of Turville in Buckinghamshire, where an earlier Geoffrey de Turville (c.1122-1177) had been Lord of the Manor of Weston Turville.
