__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]
