Ælfwine Of Lichfield
__NOTOC__ Ælfwine or Ælle was a medieval Bishop of Lichfield. He was consecrated between 903 and 915 and died between 935 and 941.Fryde, et al. ''Handbook of British Chronology'' p. 218 Ælfwine appears to have had a close relationship with King Æthelstan. Ælfwine was probably close to Æthelstan before he became king, and consistently attested the king's charters in a more prominent position than his status should have entitled him to. The historian Sarah Foot has suggested that Ælfwine may have been the " Æthelstan A", the name given by historians to the draftsman who crafted unusually detailed charters between 928 and 935, as he ceased witnessing at the same time as the Æthelstan A charters ended.Foot ''Æthelstan'' pp. 72, 98 Citations References * * External links * Anglo-Saxon bishops of Lichfield 10th-century English bishops 10th-century deaths Year of birth unknown Year of death unknown {{England-bishop-stub ...
