Reginald Boulers
- Abbot of Gloucester
- Bishop of Hereford
Reginald Boulers (died 1459) was a medieval Abbot of Gloucester, Bishop of Hereford and Bishop of Coventry and Lichfield.
Boulers became abbot of the abbey of St Peter at Gloucester in 1437.[1] Boulers was a shrewd man of affairs and was sent on an embassy to Rome in 1449, when the convent allowed him £400 for his expenses.[1] In 1450, he was seized by Richard Plantagenet, 3rd Duke of York, and imprisoned for a time in Ludlow Castle.[1] In the same year, Boulers was appointed to the See of Hereford on 14 August 1450 and consecrated on 14 February 1451.[2][3][4] He was translated to the see of Coventry and Lichfield on 7 February 1453.[5][6][7]
Shortly before his death he willed his books to the library at Gloucester Abbey.[1] Boulers died in office sometime between 24 March and 10 April 1459.[6][7]
