Wulfred

d. 832 · 9th century · Also known as Wulfred of Canterbury

Wulfred was Archbishop of Canterbury from 805 to 832. A reformer, he required the clergy of his cathedral to live a common life and sought to bring monasteries under episcopal control. His long dispute with Coenwulf of Mercia over the ownership of Kentish minsters led to his exclusion from office for several years.
