'''Walter de Gray''' (died [[1 May]] [[1255]]), [[England|English]] prelate and statesman, was a nephew of [[John de Gray]], [[bishop of Norwich]], and was educated at [[University of Oxford|Oxford]].
Weightlifting competitions at the Beijing [[2008 Summer Olympics]] will be held from [[August 9]] to [[August 19]]. Competitions will be conducted at the [[Beihang University Gymnasium]].


== Events ==
He owed his early and rapid preferment in church and state to the favor of [[John of England|King John]], becoming the king's [[Lord Chancellor|chancellor]] in [[1205]], and being chosen [[bishop of Lichfield]] in [[1210]]. He was, however, not allowed to keep this bishopric, but he became [[bishop of Worcester]] in [[1214]], resigning his office as chancellor in the same year. Gray was with John when the king signed the [[Magna Carta]] in June [[1215]]; soon after this event he left England on the king's business, and it was during his absence that he was forced into the [[Archbishop of York|archbishopric of York]], owing his election to the good offices of John and of [[Pope Innocent III]].
15 sets of medals will be awarded in the following events:

== Qualification ==
He took a leading part in public affairs during the minority of [[Henry III of England|Henry III]], and was regarded with much favor by this king, who employed him on important errands to foreign potentates, and left him as guardian of England when he went to [[France]] in [[1242]]. Afterwards the archbishop seems to have been less favorably disposed towards Henry, and for a time he absented himself from public business; however, in 1255, he visited [[London]] to attend a meeting of [[List_of_Parliaments_of_England|parliament]], and died at [[Fulham]] on the 1st of May 1255. Gray was always anxious to assert his archiepiscopal authority over [[Scotland]], and to maintain it against the [[archbishop of Canterbury]], but in neither case was he very successful. He built the south transept of [[York Minster]] and bought for his see the village, afterwards called [[Bishopthorpe]], which is still the residence of the archbishop of York. He was also generous to the church at [[Ripon]]. Gray was regarded by his contemporaries as an avaricious, but patriotic man.
An NOC may enter a maximum of 6 men and 4 women athletes, with up to 2 entries in each weight class.
