removed to Canterbury by Odo.

#Bosa# (678-705?) was educated under St. Hilda at Whitby. He retired in
favour of Wilfrid in 686, but afterwards was reinstated. He was the
first archbishop to be buried in the cathedral.

#St. John# of Beverley (705-718) was also a pupil of St. Hilda and of
Theodore of Canterbury, who made him Bishop of Hexham, 687. The
venerable Bede was his pupil, and speaks of many miracles which he
performed. He enlarged the church at Beverley, and founded a monastery
there. He was famous for his piety and good works. In 718 he resigned
his see, and retired to Beverley, where he lived privately for about
four years in his own foundation. He was buried in the church there. He
was canonised in 1037, and his relics were translated and placed in a
golden shrine.

#Wilfrid II.# (718-732) had been a pupil of St. John. He is said to have
begun the dispute between York and Canterbury for precedence. Little
else is known of him.

#Egbert# (732-766) was brother to Edbert, King of Northumberland, and,
it is said, "by his own wisdom and the authority of the King, greatly
amended the state of the Church in these parts." Gregory III. gave him
the pall in 735, and he was acknowledged Metropolitan Archbishop in the
north. He founded the famous school at York, where Alcuin was educated,
and also the library.

#Albert# (766-782) had been a master at Egbert's school, and had greatly
contributed to its renown. He also played a large part in the
establishment of the library. He retired to the monastery at York, and
died there, 782. He was succeeded by #Eanbald I.# (782-796), #Eanbald
II.# (796-812), #Wulfsy# (812-831), #Wigmund# (837-854), #Wilfere# or
#Wulfere# (854-890), #Ethelbald# (895), and #Redewald# or #Redward#
(928).

#Wulstan# (928-956) was raised to the see by Athelstan, who was now King
of England. He was imprisoned by Edred in 952, at Jedburgh, but was
released soon after, and restored to his bishopric at Dorchester. He
died two years after his release at Oundle in Northamptonshire, and was
buried there. He was followed by #Oskytel# (956-972), and #Ethelwold#
(972).

#Oswald# (972-992) had been made Bishop of Worcester in 961, and held
that see, together with York.

After his elevation to the sees of Worcester and York, he became a great

He was a strong opponent of married clergy. He died suddenly at
