STRANGE CLUE! 4dn Italian Archbishop of canterbury (latin), a name associated with old money. (8) ?????A?c
This really puzzles me! Please anyone.

L an franc?

Lanfranc was an Italian who became Archbishop of Canterbury (see entry in Wikipedia)

Lanfranc (1070-1089)

Several others have got in before me with Lanfranc!

Could I now ask for help please with either:
"Furthermore, a knight is missing a wife"
(A?A??)
"Spades getting bagged up"
(???W)

again
Ga(w)ain

Spades getting bagged up is one without a definition (see preamble). S for spades, WON for bagged, up, hence SNOW

Thanks jazzgirl. I suppose that makes the other one "snow", though I don't see why - except it would go with "ball"

Thank you. Just back on pc after walk to clear my head to help solve this crossie. Hopeless! Don't like Brummie's style. As someone said - bring back aracaria!

I thought that Archbishop clue was particularly ugly in its construction. Nothing to do with the fact that I had never heard of him!
