 William rejected the Bishop's claim to the regency and entrusted the regency to the care of the papal legate; he apparently did not trust the Bishop or any of the other magnates that he had gathered to this meeting.Fulfilling the vow he had made while on crusade, he was invested into the order of the Knights Templar on his deathbed.He died on 14 May 1219 at Caversham, and was buried in the Temple Church in London, where his tomb can still be seen.
