Eadwulf Of Lindsey
__NOTOC__ Eadwulf (fl. 796 - between 836 and 839) was a medieval Bishop of Lindsey. Eadwulf was consecrated in 796. He died between 836 and 839. His profession of obedience to Æthelhard, the Archbishop of Canterbury, is the first surviving profession to Canterbury. It notes that he had been a pupil of Æthelhard, and is undated. The actual document names Eadwulf as Bishop of York, which indicates that at some point the document was altered, probably after the Norman Conquest of England, as part of the Canterbury-York dispute over the primacy of Britain. The rest of the profession appears genuine, however. In his signing an act of the Councils of Clovesho in 803, Eadwulf gives his name and title as ''Eadwulf Syddensis civitatis episcopus'' and the location of the former Roman city (''civitatis'') of ''Syddensis'', or ''Sidnacester'', has been greatly debated. In 1695, Edmund Gibson placed it at Stow, other proposals have been Caistor, Louth and Horncastle Horncastle is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Horncastle, Lincolnshire
Horncastle is a market town and civil parish in the East Lindsey district in Lincolnshire, England. It is east of Lincoln. Its population was 6,815 at the 2011 census and estimated at 7,123 in 2019. A section of the ancient Roman walls remains. History Romans Although fortified, Horncastle was not on any important Roman roads, which suggests that the River Bain was the principal route of access to it. Roman Horncastle has become known recently as '' Banovallum'' (i. e. Wall on the River Bain). Although this Roman name has been adopted by some local businesses and the town's secondary modern school, it is not firmly known to be original. ''Banovallum'' was merely suggested in the 19th century through an interpretation of the ''Ravenna Cosmography'', a 7th-century list of Roman towns and road-stations, and may equally have meant Caistor. The place-name ‘Horncastle’ is first attested in the Domesday Book of 1086, where it appears as ‘Hornecastre’. It appears as ‘H ...

Councils Of Clovesho
The Councils of Clovesho or Clofesho were a series of synods attended by Anglo-Saxon kings, bishops, abbots and nobles in the 8th and 9th centuries. They took place at an unknown location in the Kingdom of Mercia. Location The location of the place-name Clovesho has never been conclusively identified. Scholars believe that Clovesho must have been located in the kingdom of Mercia, or close to it, and close enough to the sees of the southern English bishops to travel to. It has been described by Catherine Cubitt as ‘the most famous lost place in Anglo-Saxon England’. The placename, given by Bede as ''clofeshoch'', is Old English. The first element is ''clof'', a variant of ''cleófa'', ‘a cleft, a chasm’, while the second is ''hóh'', ‘a heel-shaped spur of land’. The modifier, ''clóf'', is a rare word in place-names, Clovelly being the only other certain example of its use in a toponym. On the other hand, ''hóh'' is more common, with the densest concentration in the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
