William of the White Hands (French: Guillaume aux Blanches Mains; 1135–1202), also called William White Hands, was a French cardinal.
William was born in Brosse, Île-de-France, France. He was a son of Theobald the Great, Count of Blois and Count of Champagne, and Matilda of Carinthia.[1]
William served as Bishop of Chartres in 1165,[2] Archbishop of Sens (1169–1176),[3] Archbishop of Reims (1175–1202),[3] and the first Peer of France to bear that title. He anointed his nephew, Philip II of France, as co-king on 1 November 1179 in Rheims. Pope Alexander III created him Cardinal Priest of Santa Sabina in March 1179;[4] as such, he signed the papal bulls between 8 April 1179 and 23 December 1201. He died on 7 September 1202.
William was portrayed by actor Liam O'Callaghan in the 1978 BBC TV drama series The Devil's Crown.
