Æthelric (or Ethelric; died 1072) was Bishop of Durham from 1041 to 1056 when he resigned.[1]
Æthelric was a monk at
Æthelwine, who had helped Æthelric to appropriate the treasure, succeeded Æthelric as bishop.[6]
Æthelric retired to Peterborough Abbey, where he remained until the
William I of England after May 1070, and died in captivity at Westminster,[8][9][10] on 15 October 1072.[1]
Notes
- ^ In Manuscript D of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle it is commented that he was consecrated as the Archbishop of York and became the Bishop of Durham after being deprived of this title.[3] He is listed as archbishop in the 1961 edition of the Handbook of British Chronology but not in later editions.[4]
